Bayesian modelling of oxygen saturation (SpO2) of cardiac patients using the asymmetric generalized error distribution

The estimated shape parameters of AGED are significant [Formula: see text] (95% CI: 2.31, 2.58) which is degree of asymmetry, and [Formula: see text] (95% CI: 3.18, 3.46) is associated with peakedness of the distribution. The finding reveals that corrective surgery, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, anemia, nutritional status, and hemoglobin levels are significantly associated with Oxygen saturation (SpO₂). Pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and under nutrition are found to lower SpO₂. In contrast, higher hemoglobin and corrective surgery are significantly associated with higher SpO₂. The AGED fitted to the data, and found to be important for analyzing data characterized by asymmetry and excess kurtosis.
