Prediction of survival probabilities with Bayesian Decision Trees

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a Bayesian method to predict survival of patients with multiple injuries.

• The proposed method provides the estimates of uncertainty in the predictions.

• We compare the accuracy of the proposed and established prediction methods.

• The proposed method outperforms the established one.

• The performances are compared in terms of prediction accuracy.
