Bayesian-Based Parameter Estimation to Quantify Trust in Medical Devices

In this paper, we propose a data-driven approach to estimate Bayesian parameters when trust needs to be quantified in the domain of wearable medical devices (WMD). Our approach extracts the probability of a trust determinant (e.g., reliability or robustness) being in a specific state from the data. Then, we use the Bayesian approach to estimate the parameters for the intermediate nodes in the network and ultimately compute the trust score. The …
