Risk-Predicting Model for Incident of Essential Hypertension Based on Environmental and Genetic Factors with Support Vector Machine.

Essential hypertension (EH) has become a major chronic disease around the world. To build a risk-predicting model for EH can help to interpose people's lifestyle and dietary habit to decrease the risk of getting EH. In this study, we constructed a EH risk-predicting model considering both environmental and genetic factors with support vector machine (SVM). The data were collected through Epidemiol...

Predicting non-melanoma skin cancer via a multi-parameterized artificial neural network.

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and family history are major associated risk factors for the development of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The objective of this study was to develop and validate a multi-parameterized artificial neural network based on available personal health information for early detection of NMSC with high sensitivity and specificity, even in the absence of known UVR exp...

Quantitative approaches to energy and glucose homeostasis: machine learning and modelling for precision understanding and prediction.

Obesity is a major global public health problem. Understanding how energy homeostasis is regulated, and can become dysregulated, is crucial for develo...
