“…Let represent the Bayesian network and let the patient's current MAAS score, previous MAAS score, blood pressure, heart rate, and required drug dose for sedation be given by the random variables M , M ’, B, H , and D , respectively, where range( M ) = range( M ’) = {0, 1,..., 6}, range( D ) = {1, 2,..., 12}, , where denotes the set of positive scalars, and, for a given function , . Note that there are 12 distinct actions (primary action) given in the first part of the conclusion of each rule in Table I in [1], and hence, we have assigned a unique number to each distinct action. The graph for this Bayesian network is given in Fig.…”
