Code For Care: Hypertension Prediction In Women Aged 18-39 Years, Kruti Sheth May 2024

Code For Care: Hypertension Prediction In Women Aged 18-39 Years, Kruti Sheth

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

The longstanding prevalence of hypertension, often undiagnosed, poses significant risks of severe chronic and cardiovascular complications if left untreated. This study investigated the causes and underlying risks of hypertension in females aged between 18-39 years. The research questions were: (Q1.) What factors affect the occurrence of hypertension in females aged 18-39 years? (Q2.) What machine learning algorithms are suited for effectively predicting hypertension? (Q3.) How can SHAP values be leveraged to analyze the factors from model outputs? The findings are: (Q1.) Performing Feature selection using binary classification Logistic regression algorithm reveals an array of 30 most influential factors at an …


Hypothyroid Disease Analysis By Using Machine Learning, Sanjana Seelam Dec 2023

Hypothyroid Disease Analysis By Using Machine Learning, Sanjana Seelam

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

Thyroid illness frequently manifests as hypothyroidism. It is evident that people with hypothyroidism are primarily female. Because the majority of people are unaware of the illness, it is quickly becoming more serious. It is crucial to catch it early on so that medical professionals can treat it more effectively and prevent it from getting worse. Machine learning illness prediction is a challenging task. Disease prediction is aided greatly by machine learning. Once more, unique feature selection strategies have made the process of disease assumption and prediction easier. To properly monitor and cure this illness, accurate detection is essential. In order …


General Population Projection Model With Census Population Data, Takenori Tsuruga Dec 2023

General Population Projection Model With Census Population Data, Takenori Tsuruga

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

The US Census Bureau offers a wide range of data, and within this array, the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate (ACS5) serves as a valuable resource for understanding the US population. This project embarks on an exploration of Machine Learning and the Software Development process with the goal of generating effective population projections from ACS5 data. The project aims to provide methods to make predictions for every city and town in the US, encompassing their total population and population divided into 5-year age groups. It's worth noting that while the generation of these projections is grounded in the generalized statistical …


A Study Of Various Data Sizes Using Machine Learning, Sochaeta Koeum May 2023

A Study Of Various Data Sizes Using Machine Learning, Sochaeta Koeum

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

Social media is a great domain for news consumption; however, it is referred to as a double-edged sword. While it is user-friendly and low-cost, social media is the reason why fake news can spread rapidly, which is detrimental to society, businesses, and many consumers. Therefore, fake news detection is an emerging field. However, some challenges have restricted other researchers from developing a universal machine learning model that is fast, efficient, and reliable to stop the proliferation because of the lack of resources available, such as large-sized datasets. The goal of this culminating experience project is to explore how varying datasets …


Using Autoencoder To Reduce The Length Of The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (Ados), Sara Hussain Daghustani Mar 2018

Using Autoencoder To Reduce The Length Of The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (Ados), Sara Hussain Daghustani

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

This thesis uses autoencoders to explore the possibility of reducing the length of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), which is a series of tests and observations used to diagnose autism spectrum disorders in children, adolescents, and adults of different developmental levels. The length of the ADOS, directly and indirectly, causes barriers to its access for many individuals, which means that individuals who need testing are unable to get it. Reducing the length of the ADOS without significantly sacrificing its accuracy would increase its accessibility. The autoencoders used in this thesis have specific connections between layers that mimic the sectional …
