A Comparison of Machine Learning Methods to Predict Hospital Readmission of Diabetic Patient

Abstract

Diabetes is a chronic disease whereby blood glucose is not metabolized in the body. Electronic health records (EHRs) (Yadav, P. et al., 2018). for each individual or a population have become important to standing developing trends of diseases. Machine learning helps provide accurate predictions higher than actual assessments. The main problem that we are trying to apply machine learning model and using EHRs that combines the strength of a machine learning model with various features and hyperparameter optimization or tuning. The hyperparameter optimization (Feurer, M., 2019) uses the random search optimization which minimizes a predefined loss function on given independent data. The evaluation on the method comparisons indicated that machine learning models has increased the ratio of metrics compared to previous models (Accuracy, Recall, F1 and AUC score) on the same public dataset that is reprocessed.
