Prediction Of Body Fat Percentage Based On Anthropometric Measurements Using Data Mining Approach, Hamsa Amro, Prof. Mohammed Awad
Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث
In recent years, heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancers have been reported as some main causes of death in most countries of the world, and obesity, which is often attributed to excess body fat, is one of the most common risk factors for these diseases. To make the vast amounts of data produced by health care information systems useful to the potential, the researchers applied knowledge discovery through predictive modeling. This study used anthropometric measurements as input data to different data mining techniques to predict body fat percentage. Fisher’s Method of Scoring was used to select the most …

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Participants in epidemiologic studies may not represent statistically independent observations. We consider modifications to conventional analyses of 2×2 tables, including Fisher’s exact test and confidence intervals, to account for correlated observations in this setting. An example is provided, assessing the robustness of conclusions from a published analysis.
