| 1. A processor-readable medium comprising code representing instructions to cause a processor to:
generate at least one parameter estimate of a probability regression model for cardiovascular disease at least partially based
on (1) a plurality of predictors generated from cardiovascular sound signals of a plurality of subjects and (2) disease status
information for cardiovascular disease of the plurality of subjects;
determine a probability of cardiovascular disease for a new subject with the probability regression model, the probability
of cardiovascular disease being generated at least partially based on the at least one parameter estimate and another plurality
of predictors generated from cardiovascular sound signals of the new subject; and
update the at least one parameter estimate at least partially based on disease status information associated with the new
subject.
