✦ Synopsis

This paper reports the results of a study to develop and pilot test a system for screening potential suicide attemptors. The system includes a computer interview of patients complaining of suicidal thoughts and Bayesian processing (using subjective probability estimation) of the results of that interview. The results suggest that the system may significantly imporve the health field's ability to identify suicide attemptors.

This paper develops a probabilistic framework to detect and identify anomalies such as damage in structures. The framework is developed by introducing new terms and definitions with their corresponding mathematical formulation. An advantage of the new framework is that ill-conditioning in the identi
