Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis to predict influenza in primary care patients
BACKGROUND The use of neuraminidase-inhibiting anti-viral medication to treat influenza is relatively infrequent. Rapid, cost-effective methods for diagnosing influenza are needed to enable appropriate prescribing. Multi-viral respiratory panels using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to diagnose influenza are accurate but expensive and more time-consuming than low se...
متن کاملClassification and regression tree (CART) model to predict pulmonary tuberculosis in hospitalized patients
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health issue worldwide. The lack of specific clinical symptoms to diagnose TB makes the correct decision to admit patients to respiratory isolation a difficult task for the clinician. Isolation of patients without the disease is common and increases health costs. Decision models for the diagnosis of TB in patients attending hospitals can increase th...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Analysis
Introduction A common goal of many clinical research studies is the development of a reliable clinical decision rule, which can be used to classify new patients into clinically-important categories. Examples of such clinical decision rules include triage rules, whether used in the out-of-hospital setting or in the emergency department, and rules used to classify patients into various risk categ...
متن کاملClassification and Regression Tree (CART) Techniques
In certain research studies development of a reliable decision rule, which can be used to classify new observations into some predefined categories, plays an important role. The existing traditional statistical methods are inappropriate to use in certain specific situations, or of limited utility, in addressing these types of classification problems. There are a number of reasons for these diff...
متن کاملClassification and regression tree (CART) analysis for indicator bacterial concentration prediction for a Californian coastal area.
The study used existing indicator bacterial data and a number of physicochemical parameters that can be measured instantaneously to determine if a decision tree approach, especially classification and regression tree, could be used to predict bacterial concentrations in timely manner for beach closure management. Each indicator bacteria showed different tree structures and each had its own sign...
