Overview of Deep Learning Models in Biomedical Domain with the Help of R Statistical Software
Abstract
With the increase in volume of data and presence of structured and unstructured data in the biomedical field, there is a need for building models which can handle complex & non-linear relations in the data and also predict and classify outcomes with higher accuracy. Deep learning models are one of such models which can handle complex and nonlinear data and are being increasingly used in the biomedical fi led in the recent years. Deep learning methodology evolved from artifi cial neural networks which process the input data through multiple hidden layers with higher level of abstraction. Deep Learning networks are used in various fi elds such as image processing, speech recognition, fraud deduction, classifi cation and prediction. Objectives of this paper is to provide an overview of Deep Learning Models and its application in the biomedical domain using R Statistical software Deep Learning concepts are illustrated by using the R statistical software package. X-ray Images from NIH datasets used to explain the prediction accuracy of the deep learning models. Deep Learning models helped to classify the outcomes under study with 91% accuracy.The paper provided an overview of Deep Learning Models, its types, its application in biomedical domain. is paper has shown the eff ect of deep learning network in classifying images into normal and disease with 91% accuracy with help of the R statistical package

Overview of artificial neural network models in the biomedical domain
Abstract
Abstract: AIM: The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of artificial neural network (ANN) in biomedical domain and compare it with the logistic regression model. METHODS: Artificial neural network models and logistic regression models were created and compared using a sample of a modified dataset adapted to the dataset from Framingham Heart Study. R statistical software package is used to create and compare the models. RESULTS: The results indicated that the ANN model is more accurate in classifying the dependent variable than the logistic regression model (84.4 % vs 82.9 %). CONCLUSION: This paper has shown the effect of artificial neural network models in classifying the survival status (event or non-event) (Tab. 2, Fig. 4, Ref. 29).

Overview of Frequentist and Bayesian approach to Survival Analysis

Applied Medical Informatics, 38(1), 25-38Abstract
Survival analysis is one of the main areas of focus in medical research in
recent years. Survival analysis involves the concept of 'Time to event'. The
event may be mortality, onset of disease, response to treatment etc. Purpose
of this paper is to provide overview of frequentist and Bayesian Approaches
to Survival Analysis. The paper starts with the overview of the basic
concepts of survival analysis and then discusses the frequentist and
Bayesian approaches to survival analysis in the biomedical domain with help
of hypothetical survival dataset. The survival analysis of the hypothetical
data sets showed that for the specific dataset and specific hypothesis,
Bayesian approach provided direct probability that the null hypothesis is
true or not and the probability that the unknown parameter (mean survival
time) lies in a given credible interval wherein the frequentist approach
provided p-values and confidence interval for interpreting whether the null
hypothesis is true or not and the percentage of intervals which will contain
the parameter when the experiment is repeated under same condition. The use
of Bayesian survival analysis in biomedical domain has increased due to the
availability of advanced commercial and free software, its ability to handle
design and analysis issues in survival model and the ease of interpretation
of the research findings.

Healthcare Informatics Research 2017 Jul; 23(03) 141-146Abstract
Objectives: With the exponential increase in the number of articles published every year in the biomedical domain,
there is a need to build automated systems to extract unknown information from the articles published.
Text mining techniques enablethe extraction of unknown knowledge from unstructured documents.
Methods: This paper reviews text mining processes in detail and the software tools available to carry out text mining.
It also reviews the roles and applications of text mining in the biomedical domain.
Results: Text mining processes, such as search and retrieval of documents, pre-processing of documents, natural language processing,
methods for text clustering, and methods for text classification are described
in detail.
Conclusions: Text mining techniques can facilitate the mining of vast amounts of knowledge on a
given topic from published biomedical research articles and draw meaningful conclusions that are not possible otherwise.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Likelihood Ratio test
revisited
Vinaitheerthan Renganahtan
AbstractMaximum likelihood Estimation is an important aspect of frequentist approach which was introduced by RA Fisher [1]. Maximum Likelihood estimation method helps us to find the estimator for the unknown population parameter. There are other methods of estimation also available such as Least Square Estimation and Bayesian Estimation methods but Maximum Likelihood Estimation is the widely used method to estimate the parameters. This paper provides an overview of Maximum Likelihood Method with example to calculate a Maximum Likelihood Estimator from a sample data set.
