A multiscale model of vascular function in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
, 2021 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by recurrent or unresolved pulmonary thromboemboli, leading to perfusion defects and increased arterial wave reflections. CTEPH treatment aims to reduce pulmonary arterial pressure and reestablish adequate lung perfusion, yet patients with distal lesions are inoperable by standard surgical

Equivalence testing for functional data with an application to comparing pulmonary function devices [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics 2014, Vol. 8, No. 4, 2002-2026, 2014 Equivalence testing for scalar data has been well addressed in the literature, however, the same cannot be said for functional data. The resultant complexity from maintaining the functional structure of the data, rather than using a scalar transformation to reduce dimensionality, renders the existing literature on equivalence testing inadequate for the
