01/2003 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerEstablishing an Agenda for Biomedical Informatics
OBJECTIVE: To describe potential areas of collaboration between Medical Informatics (BI) and Bioinformatics (BI) and their effects on planning future work in both disciplines. METHODS: Some reflections on the objectives and rationale underpinning MI and BI are given, and preliminary results from the BIOINFOMED workgroup, supported by the European Commission, are introduced. RESULTS: Applications from both subfields suggest topics for sharing and exchange between the subfields within the emerging field of Biomedical Informatics. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest how the nature and degree of collaboration between the sub-disciplines can impact future work in molecular medicine.

01/2003 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerProbabilistic Graphical Models for Computational Biomedicine
BACKGROUND: As genomics becomes increasingly relevant to medicine, medical informatics and bioinformatics are gradually converging into a larger field that we call computational biomedicine. OBJECTIVES: Developing a computational framework that is common to the different disciplines that compose computational biomedicine will be a major enabler of the further development and integration of this research domain. METHODS: Probabilistic graphical models such as Hidden Markov Models, belief networks, and missing-data models together with computational methods such as dynamic programming, Expectation-Maximization, data-augmentation Gibbs sampling, and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm provide the tools for an integrated probabilistic approach to computational biomedicine. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We show how graphical models have already found a broad application in different fields composing computational biomedicine...
