Physically Meaningful Surrogate Data for COPD by Harry J. Davies, Ghena Hammour, Hongjian Xiao, Patrik Bachtiger, Alexander Larionov, Philip L. Molyneaux, Nicholas S. Peters, Danilo P. Mandic

“…The proposed simulator operates on healthy subjects and is able to generate FEV₁/FVC obstruction ratios ranging from greater than 0.8 to less than 0.2, mirroring values that can observed in the full spectrum of real-world COPD. As a final stage of verification, a simple convolutional neural network is trained on surrogate data alone, and is used to accurately detect COPD in real-world patients. …”
