An Improved Total Uncertainty Measure in the Evidence Theory and Its Application in Decision Making
Entropy, 2020 Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DS theory) has some superiorities in uncertain information processing for a large variety of applications. However, the problem of how to quantify the uncertainty of basic probability assignment (BPA) in DS theory ...

An Evidential Aggregation Method of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Based on Belief Entropy
IEEE Access, 2019 Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are essential in the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) under uncertain environment. However, how to reasonably aggregate them with considering the uncertainty contained in the IFSs is still an open issue.

Conflict Management of Evidence Theory Based on Belief Entropy and Negation [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 Discount coefficient is an efficient method to address conflicting evidence combination in Dempster-Shafer evidence theory. However, how to determine the discount coefficient of each evidence is an open issue. In this paper, considering both the influence of the amount of information contained in the evidence itself and the fuzziness of the evidence ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Medication nonadherence during the first 100 days after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and during oncology treatment increases risk for complications. BMT4me is a caregiver‐facing mobile health (mHealth) application providing medication reminders, symptom tracking, and note‐taking features to support ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Although significant progress has been made in childhood leukemia survival, healthcare providers, and caregivers often face challenges in explaining this disease to patients. Disease‐targeted storybooks have been proposed as a tool to facilitate the understanding of diagnoses and treatment.

Markov Entropy Decomposition: A Variational Dual for Quantum Belief Propagation [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 We present a lower bound for the free energy of a quantum many-body system at finite temperature. This lower bound is expressed as a convex optimization problem with linear constraints, and is derived using strong subadditivity of von Neumann entropy and a relaxation of the consistency condition of local density operators. The dual to this minimization

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.
