Cole Model Analysis of EBIs Neonatal Cerebral Measurements

Abstract: The concept of Electrical Bio Impedance prevails in this thesis. The EBI measurement which is used for obtaining the body composition is, by virtue of time becoming of great use as its one of the easiest method of finding out the body composition. In simple words, EBI is the opposition offered by the body to the current. It is just like another analysis tool. The result is only as good as the test is done. In this thesis, we have done the analysis on the neonatal EBI measurements of two kinds.In this work, 293 measurements are obtained from 12 babies and 230 measurements are obtained from 7 babies have been analyzed with the purpose of obtaining reference values for the spectrum of complex EBI. The analysis uses both statistical and model approach of obtaining reference values and in order to fit the given data, Cole model analysis is used.Filters were applied to get the highest degree of correctness. In the due course of the filtering, it was found that the measurements from some babies have been deleted. The Standard Error of Estimation (S.E.E.) is a parameter used for obtaining the further reliable and most probable output. The further analysis is done using MATLAB and the results are been compared to the previous analysis report.
