Figure 2: Pipeline to create a predictive model: 1) PCA is used to create a SMA model
from which new bone instances are created. 2) another PCA decomposition is used to
combine results form the simulations. 3) NIPALS relates the input model parameters to
the numerical FE predictions and constitutes a predictive model. 4) The predictive
model is used to instantly deliver the result for a new subject.
Figure 3: Prediction error with the mechanical loading included (solid line) or excluded
(dashed line) from the predictive model for a single case. Measurements at for femoral
head displacement and Mises stress in the femoral neck, trochanter region and the shaft
of the femur.
