A recent analysis of the home hospitalization and early discharge (HH/ED) program at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona over a 10-year period demonstrated high levels of acceptance by patients and professionals, as well as health value-based generation at the provider and health-system levels. However, health risk assessment was identified as an unmet need with the potential to enhance clinical decision making. Objective: The objective of this study is to generate and assess predictive models of mortality and in-hospital admission at entry and at HH/ED discharge. Methods: Predictive modeling of mortality and in-hospital admission was done in 2 different scenarios: at entry into the HH/ED program and at discharge, from January 2009 to December 2015.

  • Review on Predictive Modelling Techniques for Identifying Students at Risk in University Environment
    MATEC Web of Conferences 255, 03002 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/20192 5503002 EAAI Conference 2018 Review on Predictive Modelling Techniques for Identifying Students at Risk in University Environment Nik Nurul Hafzan Mat Yaacob1,*, Safaai Deris1,3, Asiah Mat2, Mohd Saberi Mohamad1,3, Siti Syuhaida Safaai1 1Faculty of Bioengineering and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Jeli Campus, 17600 Jeli, Kelantan, Malaysia 2Faculty of Creative and Heritage Technology, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan,16300 Bachok, Kelantan, Malaysia 3Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, City Campus, Pengkalan Chepa, 16100 Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia Abstract. Predictive analytics including statistical techniques, predictive modelling, machine learning, and data mining that analyse current and historical facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown events. Higher education institutions nowadays are under increasing pressure to respond to national and global economic, political and social changes such as the growing need to increase the proportion of students in certain disciplines, embedding workplace graduate attributes and ensuring that the quality of learning programs are both nationally and globally relevant. However, in higher education institution, there are significant numbers of students that stop their studies before graduation, especially for undergraduate students. Problem related to stopping out student and late or not graduating student can be improved by applying analytics. Using analytics, administrators, instructors and student can predict what will happen in future. Administrator and instructors can decide suitable intervention programs for at-risk students and before students decide to leave their study. Many different machine learning techniques have been implemented for predictive modelling in the past including decision tree, k-nearest neighbour, random forest, neural network, support vector machine, naïve Bayesian and a few others.

In the same spirit J.P.Benzécri and many others developed multivariate descriptive analysis tools. Since that time, many generalizations occurred, but the basic methods (SVD, k-means, …) are still incredibly efficient in the Big Data era.
