The Keouk County CAFO Study: A Complementary Analysis Using Classification Trees in SAS Enterprise Miner
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is an increase in larger specialized operations in the livestock production sector in the United States(US). The number of hogs raised in the US has been relatively constant but the number of producers has reduced resulting in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) which has not been without consequences. The amount of waste generated has had adverse effects on the environment. Studies have shown an association between CAFO exposure and adverse respiratory outcomes. Classification trees (CT)a non-parametric methodologyusing SAS® Enterprise MinerTM are used for the analysis. Classification trees are underused in the public health literature and they have the ability to divide populations into meaningful subgroups which will allow the identification of vulnerable groups and enhance the provision of products and services.

متن کاملData Mining Episode Groupers
It is the purpose of this study to develop a method to define sequential episodes of patient care. We will use data from a cohort of patients with heart problems and diabetes. We will focus on the condition of congestive heart failure, a co-morbid disease of diabetes that is progressive and irreversible. The biggest problem is to determine where one episode ends and another begins. We start wit...
