Abstract :

HIV/AIDS is a multi–system disorder of opportunistic infections caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). People with advanced HIV infection are vulnerable to a wide range of infections which affect the entire body parts. Methods The data on 182 patients was collected at Vittala International Institute of Ophthalmology (VIIO), Bangalore, India. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS 7.5 for windows and Matlab 5.3. In order to know the association between pairs of attributes, to predict number of patients requiring ART in the future, that are of medical interest , various statistical methods are used such as Independence of Attributes, Bayesian predictive distribution, Goodness of fit , discriminant Analysis . Results From the discriminant analysis, we observed that the probability of misclassification is very high, this indicates that even though CD4 is a precursor, it is not a predictor for ocular manifestation. While using Bayesian predictive distribution, we observed that out of 20 patients, 4 patients will require ART with the probability 0.06. which can be useful for the hospital management for future demand.
