- ItemIndividualized performance prediction of sleep-deprived individuals with the two-process model.(2008-02-11) Rajaraman, Srinivasan; Gribok, Andrei V; Wesensten, Nancy J; Balkin, Thomas J; Reifman, JaquesWe present a new method for developing individualized biomathematical models that predict performance impairment for individuals restricted to total sleep loss The underlying formulation is based on the two process model of sleep regulation which has been extensively used to develop group average models However in the proposed method the parameters of the two process model are systematically adjusted to account for an individual s uncertain initial state and unknown trait characteristics resulting in individual specific performance prediction models The method establishes the initial estimates of the model parameters using a set of past performance observations after which the parameters are adjusted as each new observation becomes available Moreover by transforming the nonlinear optimization problem of finding the best estimates of the two process model parameters into a set of linear optimization problems the proposed method yields unique parameter estimates Two distinct data sets are used to evaluate the proposed method Results of simulated data with superimposed noise show that the model parameters asymptotically converge to their true values and the model prediction accuracy improves as the number of performance observations increases and the amount of noise in the data decreases Results of a laboratory study 82 h of total sleep loss for three sleep loss phenotypes suggest that individualized models are consistently more accurate than group average models yielding as much as a threefold reduction in prediction errors In addition we show that the two process model of sleep regulation is capable of representing performance data only when the proposed individualized model is used

- ItemPredictive monitoring for improved management of glucose levels.(2009-11-03) Reifman, Jaques; Rajaraman, Srinivasan; Gribok, Andrei; Ward, W KennethRecent developments and expected near future improvements in continuous glucose monitoring CGM devices provide opportunities to couple them with mathematical forecasting models to produce predictive monitoring systems for early proactive glycemia management of diabetes mellitus patients before glucose levels drift to undesirable levels This article assesses the feasibility of data driven models to serve as the forecasting engine of predictive monitoring systems
