Learning Mortality Risk For Covid-19 Using Machine Learning And Statistical Methods, Shaoshi Zhang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This research investigates the mortality risk of COVID-19 patients across different variant waves, using the data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) websites. By analyzing the available data, including patient medical records, vaccination rates, and hospital capacities, we aim to discern patterns and factors associated with COVID-19-related deaths.
To explore features linked to COVID-19 mortality, we employ different techniques such as Filter, Wrapper, and Embedded methods for feature selection. Furthermore, we apply various machine learning methods, including support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, logistic regression, K-nearest neighbours, na¨ıve Bayes methods, and artificial neural networks, to uncover underlying …
A Computational Framework For Identifying Relevant Cell Types And Specific Regulatory Mechanisms In Schizophrenia Using Data Integration Methods, Kayvan Shabani
A Computational Framework For Identifying Relevant Cell Types And Specific Regulatory Mechanisms In Schizophrenia Using Data Integration Methods, Kayvan Shabani
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Combining multiple data types can help researchers gain deeper insight into the subject of the study compared to analyzing only one dataset in many cases. Biological researchers can also benefit from these methods of integration. For instance, GWAS data that gives information about variations in the DNA cannot provide us with much information about the specific biological components that are significant in the trait of interest. However, when combined with sequencing data such as chromatin accessibility data or gene expression data, they can help us find the significant biological elements in the trait of interest. In this study, I perform …
