Machine Learning in Medicine

Beschreibung

Machine learning is a novel discipline concerned with the analysis of large and multiple variables data. It involves computationally intensive methods, like factor analysis, cluster analysis, and discriminant analysis. It is currently mainly the domain of computer scientists, and is already commonly used in social sciences, marketing research, operational research and applied sciences. It is virtually unused in clinical research. This is probably due to the traditional belief of clinicians in clinical trials where multiple variables are equally balanced by the randomization process and are not further taken into account. In contrast, modern computer data files often involve hundreds of variables like genes and other laboratory values, and computationally intensive methods are required. This book was written as a hand-hold presentation accessible to clinicians, and as a must-read publication for those new to the methods.

Electronic health records of modern health facilities, are increasingly complex and systematic assessment of these records is virtually impossible without special computationally intensive methods Clinicians and other health professionals are not familiar with these methods, and this book is the first publication that systematically reviews such methods, particularly, for this audience The book is written as a hand-hold presentation also accessible to non-mathematicians, and as a must-read publication for those new to the methods The book includes step by step data analyses in SPSS, and can, therefore, also be used as a cookbook-like guide for those starting with the novel methodologies Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
