Predicting few disinfection byproducts in the water distribution systems using machine learning models.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Concerns regarding disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water persist, with measurements in water treatment plants (WTPs) being relatively easier than those in water distribution systems (WDSs) due to accessibility challenges, especially during...

Machine learning models provide modest accuracy in predicting clinical impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome type 2 in Canadian sow herds.

American journal of veterinary research
OBJECTIVE: To determine the predictive potential of the open reading frame 5 nucleotide sequence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus and the basic demographic data on the severity of the impact on selected production paramet...

Prediction of Social Engagement in Long-Term Care Homes by Sex: A Population-Based Analysis Using Machine Learning.

Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society
The objective of this study was to use population-based clinical assessment data to build and evaluate machine-learning models for predicting social engagement among female and male residents of long-term care (LTC) homes. Routine clinical assessment...

Prediction of preterm birth in multiparous women using logistic regression and machine learning approaches.

Scientific reports
To predict preterm birth (PTB) in multiparous women, comparing machine learning approaches with traditional logistic regression. A population-based cohort study was conducted using data from the Ontario Better Outcomes Registry and Network (BORN). Th...

Identifying Psychosocial and Ecological Determinants of Enthusiasm In Youth: Integrative Cross-Sectional Analysis Using Machine Learning.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Understanding the factors contributing to mental well-being in youth is a public health priority. Self-reported enthusiasm for the future may be a useful indicator of well-being and has been shown to forecast social and educational succes...

Comparison of machine learning and conventional statistical modeling for predicting readmission following acute heart failure hospitalization.

American heart journal
INTRODUCTION: Developing accurate models for predicting the risk of 30-day readmission is a major healthcare interest. Evidence suggests that models developed using machine learning (ML) may have better discrimination than conventional statistical mo...

Socio-demographic predictors of not having private dental insurance coverage: machine-learning algorithms may help identify the disadvantaged.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: For accessing dental care in Canada, approximately 62% of the population has employment-based insurance, 6% have some publicly funded coverage, and 32% have to pay out-of pocket. Those with no insurance or public coverage find dental care...
