Transition Between Different Episode Patterns The Conceptual Approach

Transition Between Different Episode Patterns The Conceptual Approach 

The indications which justify such an approach are directly provided by the episode patterns. As described above, in specific parts of disease progression the disease episodes occur periodically, while they develop rather randomly before, with no exact bifurcation point in between. Accordingly, we do not expect the mechanism of episode generation to change completely when it goes from random to periodic disease episodes. We assume that this reflects disease-related alteration of the system dynamics and we expect that this also holds true for the transitions to chaotic disease patterns.
