The Impact of Oversampling with SMOTE on the Performance of 3 Classifiers in Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes.

Medical decision making : an international journal of the Society for Medical Decision Making
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) on the performance of probabilistic neural network (PNN), naïve Bayes (NB), and decision tree (DT) classifiers for predicting diabetes in a prospective cohort ...

Ensemble of trees approaches to risk adjustment for evaluating a hospital's performance.

Health care management science
A commonly used method for evaluating a hospital's performance on an outcome is to compare the hospital's observed outcome rate to the hospital's expected outcome rate given its patient (case) mix and service. The process of calculating the hospital'...

A heterogeneity analysis of health-related quality of life in early adults born very preterm or very low birthweight across the sociodemographic spectrum.

Social science & medicine (1982)
Preterm birth and very low birthweight (VP/VLBW) are associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes extending into adulthood, yet it remains unclear how these effects differ across sociodemographic subgroups. This study aimed ...

The Impact of Social Determinants on Cardiovascular Mortality: A Zip Code-Level Analysis in Indiana.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally and is expected to become the top global cause of death by 2030. Although the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in CVD outcomes is well-established, integrating these fact...

Investigating the influence of socioeconomic factors on the relationships between road characteristics and traffic crash frequency and severity-- A hybrid structural equation modelling - artificial neural networks approach.

Accident; analysis and prevention
Traffic crashes result from complex interactions between driver, roadway, and environmental factors, which traditional methods often fail to capture. This paper investigates the influence of road, weather, and socioeconomic factors on traffic crashes...
