Question
Describe the expectation of a discrete random variable.
Answer

Let a discrete random variable \(X\) have \(k\) possible values \(\{ x_i \}_{i=1}^k\). The expectation of \(X\) denoted as \(\mathbb E[X]\) is given by,

\(\begin{align} \mathbb E[X] & \stackrel{\textrm{def}}{=} \sum_{i=1}^k \left[ x_i \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_i \right) \right] \\ & = x_1 \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_1 \right) + x_2 \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_2 \right) + \cdots + x_k \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_k \right) \end{align}\)

where \(\textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_i \right)\) is the probability that \(X\) has the value \(x_i\) according to the pmf. The expectation of a random variable is also called the mean, average or expected value and is frequently denoted with the letter \(\mu\) . The expectation is one of the most important statistics of a random variable.

In addition to causing muscle weakness, severe potassium depletion (serum potassium less than 2.5 mEq/L) can lead to muscle cramps, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuria [4-7]. Potassium release from muscle cells during exercise normally mediates vasodilation and an appropriate increase in muscle blood flow [8]. Decreased potassium release due to profound hypokalemia can diminish blood flow to muscles during exertion, leading to ischemic rhabdomyolysis [8]. The clinical and pathologic abnormalities are reversible with potassium repletion [4]. A potential diagnostic problem is that the release of potassium from the cells with rhabdomyolysis can mask the severity of the underlying hypokalemia or even lead to normal or high values.

#Hypokaliemie #Hypokaliémie #Nephrologie #Néphrologie #Traitement

The neuromuscular and cardiac symptoms induced by hypokalemia are related to alterations in the generation of the action potential [2]. The ease of generating an action potential (called membrane excitability) is related both to the magnitude of the resting membrane potential and to the activation state of membrane sodium channels. Opening the sodium channels leads to the passive diffusion of extracellular sodium into the cells, which is the primary step in this process.

According to the Nernst equation, the resting membrane potential is related to the ratio of the intracellular to the extracellular potassium concentration. In skeletal muscle, a reduction in the serum (extracellular) potassium concentration will increase this ratio and therefore hyperpolarize the cell membrane (that is, make the resting potential more electronegative); this impairs the ability of the muscle to depolarize and contract, leading to weakness. However, in some cardiac cells (such as Purkinje fibers in the conducting system), hypokalemia causes K2P1 channels, which are normally selective for potassium, to transport sodium into the cells, causing depolarization [16,17]. This leads to increased membrane excitability and arrhythmias.

Hypokalemia also delays ventricular repolarization by inhibiting the activity of potassium channels responsible for this component of the cardiac electrical cycle [12]. (See "Reentry and the development of cardiac arrhythmias".)

In addition, hypokalemia causes ventricular arrhythmias through downregulation of cardiac Na-K-ATPase activity [18,19]. This produces an increase in intracellular sodium, which impedes removal of intracellular calcium by the Na-Ca exchanger, leading to intracellular calcium overload. The ensuing activation of calmodulin kinase II activity reduces repolarization reserve by activating late sodium and calcium currents [20]. This, in turn, predisposes the heart to early afterdepolarization-associated arrhythmias, such as Torsades de pointes and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [20]

Potassium chloride is preferred in all other patients for two major reasons [1]:

• Patients with hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis are often chloride depleted due, for example, to diuretic therapy or vomiting. In such patients, chloride depletion contributes to maintenance of the metabolic alkalosis by enhancing renal bicarbonate reabsorption and may contribute to potassium wasting as sodium is reabsorbed in exchange for secreted potassium rather than with chloride [3,44,45]. It has been estimated that administration of non-chloride-containing potassium salts in the presence of metabolic alkalosis results in the retention of only 40 percent as much potassium as the administration of potassium chloride [45]. (See "Pathogenesis of metabolic alkalosis", section on 'Chloride depletion' and "Treatment of metabolic alkalosis", section on 'Treatment'.)

Potassium chloride raises the serum potassium concentration at a faster rate than potassium bicarbonate. Chloride is primarily an extracellular anion that does not enter cells to the same extent as bicarbonate, thereby promoting maintenance of the administered potassium in the extracellular fluid [46] In addition, potassium bicarbonate may partially offset the benefits of potassium administration by aggravating metabolic alkalosis, if present

If tolerated, this regimen should be continued until the serum potassium concentration is persistently above 3.0 to 3.5 mEq/L and symptoms or signs attributable to hypokalemia have resolved. Thereafter, the dose and frequency of administration can be reduced to that used in mild to moderate hypokalemia since aggressive repletion is no longer required and gastric irritation can be avoided.

A saline rather than a dextrose solution should be used for initial therapy since the administration of dextrose stimulates the release of insulin which drives extracellular potassium into the cells. This can lead to a transient 0.2 to 1.4 mEq/L reduction in the serum potassium concentration, particularly if the solution contains only 20 mEq/L of potassium [3,55].

#an-integrated-machine-learning-and-finite-element-analysis-framework
Since its introduction halfway the 20 th century, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has gained an immense amount of popularity as an engineering analysis tool. As of today, engineering fields such as aerospace and automotive rely heavily on FEM to compute the mechanical behaviour of structures under various types of loading. Despite its significant computational expense, engineers have gone as far as to model entire aircraft and other complex structures with this method. How- ever, it is often undesired to perform a FEM analysis of a full-scale model each time when a small component is changed. Instead of performing analyses on a fully-meshed model, a complex structure may be split into multiple sections based on a method called substructuring. Traditionally, this technique combines coarse global models with high-fidelity local substructure models. These substructures are subject to appropriate boundary conditions, obtained from analyses on the global scale. Essentially, there are three advantages to substructuring: an easier division of labour, a reduction in model preparation time and a reduction in computational time.

#an-integrated-machine-learning-and-finite-element-analysis-framework
The current master’s thesis aims to develop a framework that integrates ANN and FEM tech- niques, as to provide a novel approach to homogenised substructure modelling. More specifically, this work strives to establish a procedure which allows to construct a homogenised representation of any substructure regardless of the structural complexity (e.g. inclusions or cut-outs) and ma- terial complexity (e.g. damage progression and failure). To achieve this, traditional techniques to obtain the homogenised behaviour of structural sections are replaced by a constitutive model that is captured in an ANN. With this in mind, the main research objective for this thesis is identified as follows: The objective within the time-span of this thesis is to improve the accuracy and/or computational efficiency of substructuring in FEM by implementing a constitutive model based on an artificial neural network, to be trained on a detailed and repre- sentative data set. To achieve this goal, a set of four research questions are formulated to guide and structure the re- search. The first one addresses background knowledge on ANNs, whereas the remaining questions focus on the actual research topic. I What artificial neural network set-ups, architectures and training procedures are suitable to model constitutive behaviour? Furthermore, how can a sufficiently representative training data set be constructed from a minimum amount of simulations? II To what extent can an artificial neural network be used to capture complex homogenised behaviour of a substructure? Furthermore, what are the conditions such that a substructure is fit for usage with the proposed method? III Is it feasible to integrate an artificial neural network into a finite element analysis procedure as a constitutive model? IV If the previous question is answered positively, what are the gains in computational time and/or accuracy from using the artificial neural network-based set-up?

This subsection aims to provide an intuitive definition of a machine learning problem, which is the fundamental concept behind self-learning computational units such as ANNs. Each problem consists of three essential components which are: the task, the performance measure and the experience, as explained by Goodfellow et al. [3]. Mitchell [4] motivates the presence of a natural relation between these entities: "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P , if its performance at tasks in T , as measured by P , improves with experience E."

#an-integrated-machine-learning-and-finite-element-analysis-framework
The type of performance measurement is to be chosen by the user. It is a critical part of the machine learning problem design which defines how certain types and magnitudes of errors translate into a learning step. For problems with continuous outputs, it is common to use a cost function such as the ones described in Subsection 2.2.3. The choice should always be made with respect to a specific problem, as it is often desired to treat each output error differently. For example, it may be so that an error value above a certain threshold for output a is considered unacceptable and heavily penalised (the learning process then puts ’extra effort’ in reducing this error). In the same system, output b may be less critical and feature a simple linear or logarithmic penalty [3]. Another method of measuring performance is to quantify the total accuracy of a trained com- putational unit on a data set. As explained in Subsection 2.2.1, labeled data is always divided in at least a training and a testing data set in the context of machine learning and neural networks. Measuring the accuracy of the trained computational unit on these sets serves as an indicator of how well the labels are predicted. Based on these values, one can make adjustments to the hyper- parameters (settings of the computational unit and training process) if necessary. For example, a low training and testing accuracy can be an indicator that the training time is too short or a lack of complexity in the model. A low testing accuracy in combination with a high training accuracy may be due to over-fitting of noisy training data (covered in Subsection 2.2.5).
