Hierarchical Probabilistic Support Vector Machine for Detecting Cardiovascular Diseases

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, it is very important to find the pattern of the data from the observed data and the functional dependency relationship between the data. By finding the existing functional dependencies, we can classify and predict them. At present, cardiovascular disease has become a major disease harmful to human health. As a disease with high mortality, the prediction problem of cardiovascular disease is becoming more and more urgent. However, some computer methods are mainly used for disease detection rather than prediction. If the computer method can be used to predict cardiovascular disease in advance and treat it as early as possible, then the consequences of the disease can be reduced to a certain extent. Diseases can be predicted by mechanical methods. Support vector machine (SVM) has strict mathematical theory support, and can deal with nonlinear classification after using kernel techniques. Therefore, support vector machine can be used to predict cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, we also use logical regression and random forest to predict cardiovascular disease. This paper mainly uses the method of machine learning to predict whether the population is sick or not. First of all, we preprocess the obtained data to improve the quality of the data, and then use svm and logical regression to predict, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract:The predictive performance of various team metrics is compared in the context of 105 best-of-seven national hockey league (NHL) playoff series that took place between 2008 and 2014 inclusively. This analysis provides renewed support for traditional box score statistics such as goal differential, especially in the form of Pythagorean expectations. A parsimonious relevance vector machine (RVM) learning approach is compared with the more common support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. Despite the potential of the RVM approach, the SVM algorithm proved to be superior in the context of hockey playoffs. The probabilistic SVM results are used to derive playoff performance expectations for NHL teams and identify playoff under-achievers and over-achievers. The results suggest that the Arizona Coyotes and the Carolina Hurricanes can both be considered Round 2 over-achievers while the Nashville Predators would be Round 2 under-achievers, even after accounting for several observable team performance metrics and playoff predictors. The Vancouver Canucks came the closest to qualify as Stanley Cup Finals under-achievers after they lost against the Boston Bruins in 2011. Overall, the results tend to support the idea that the NHL fields extremely competitive playoff teams, that chance or other intangible factors play a significant role in NHL playoff outcomes and that playoff upsets will continue to occur regularly.
