This document outlines Md Abul Hayat's Ph.D. candidacy exam on using statistical analysis of peripheral venous pressure signals to estimate body fluid status. The exam covers using PVP signals to predict dehydration in pediatric patients, unsupervised anomaly detection in PVP signals, and future work. Logistic regression with regularization is used to classify PVP windows as hypovolemic or resuscitated, achieving high accuracy. Frequency domain analysis finds differences between the signals. Dynamic linear models and Kalman filtering are proposed to detect anomalies in noisy PVP signals.
