Multi-hypothesis activity-detection using a wireless body area network is considered. A fusion center receives samples of biometric signals from heterogeneous sensors. Due to the different discrimination capabilities of each sensor, an optimized allocation of samples per sensor results in lower energy consumption. Optimal sample allocation is determined by minimizing the probability of misclassification given the current activity state of the user. For a particular scenario, optimal allocation can achieve the same accuracy (97%) as equal allocation across sensors with an energy savings of 26%. As the number of samples is an integer, further energy reduction is achieved by developing an approximation to the probability of misclassification which allows for a continuous-valued vector optimization. This alternate optimization yields approximately optimal allocations with significantly lower complexity, facilitating real-time implementation.

Phenotypic Classification of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children Using Latent Class Analysis.
JAMA Netw Open

Importance: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is an uncommon but severe hyperinflammatory illness that occurs 2 to 6 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Presentation overlaps with other conditions, and risk factors for severity differ by patient. Characterizing patterns of MIS-C presentation can guide efforts to reduce misclassification, categorize phenotypes, and identify patients at risk for severe outcomes.

The covariance index method, the idiosyncratic item response method, and the machine learning method are the three primary response-pattern-based (RPB) approaches to detect faking on personality tests. However, less is known about how their performance is affected by different practical factors (e.g.

Correct classification of type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is challenging due to overlapping clinical features and the increasingly early onset of T2D, particularly in South Asians. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for T1D and T2D have been shown to work relatively well in South Asians, despite being derived from largely European-ancestry samples. Here we used PRSs to investigate the rate of potential misclassification of diabetes amongst British Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.

Purpose: Studies on antihypertensive treatment are important, as hypertension remains the major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and premature death. However, antihypertensive medicines are also used for other conditions, and the use of these medicines as a proxy for a diagnosis of hypertension might lead to misclassification in pharmacoepidemiological studies. This study aimed to investigate to what extent people dispensed antihypertensive medicines have been diagnosed with hypertension.

Background: During the pandemic, there was concern that underascertainment of COVID-19 outcomes may impact treatment effect estimation in pharmacoepidemiologic studies. We assessed the impact of outcome misclassification on the association between inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and COVID-19 hospitalisation and death in the United Kingdom during the first pandemic wave using probabilistic bias analysis (PBA).
Methods: Using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum, we defined a cohort with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on 1 March 2020.
