Machine Learning Classification

Traffic accident is a very difficult problem to handle on a large scale in a country. Indonesia is one of the most populated, developing countries that use vehicles for daily activities as its main transportation.  It is also the country with the largest number of car users in Southeast Asia, so driving safety needs to be considered. Using machine learning classification method to determine whether a driver is driving safely or not can help reduce the risk of driving accidents. We created a detection system to classify whether the driver is driving safely or unsafely using trip sensor data, which include Gyroscope, Acceleration, and GPS. The classification methods used in this study are Random Forest (RF) classification algorithm, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) by improving data preprocessing using feature extraction and oversampling methods. This study shows that RF has the best performance with 98% accuracy, 98% precision, and 97% sensitivity using the proposed preprocessing stages compared to SVM or MLP.

Microstructure Parameters

Rain microstructure parameters assessed by disdrometers are commonly used to classify rain into convective and stratiform. However, different types of disdrometer result in different values for these parameters. This in turn potentially deteriorates the quality of rain type classifications. Thies disdrometer measurements at two sites in Bavaria in southern Germany were combined with cloud observations to construct a set of clear convective and stratiform intervals. This reference dataset was used to study the performance of classification methods from the literature based on the rain microstructure. We also explored the possibility of improving the performance of these methods by tuning the decision boundary. We further identified highly discriminant rain microstructure parameters and used these parameters in five machine-learning classification models. Our results confirm the potential of achieving high classification performance by applying the concepts of machine learning compared to already available methods. Machine-learning classification methods provide a concrete and flexible procedure that is applicable regardless of the geographical location or the device. The suggested procedure for classifying rain types is recommended prior to studying rain microstructure variability or any attempts at improving radar estimations of rain intensity.

Crash Injury Severity

In many related works, nominal classification algorithms ignore the order between injury severity levels and make sub-optimal predictions. Existing ordinal classification methods suffer rank inconsistency and rank non-monotonicity. The aim of this paper is to propose an ordinal classification approach to predict traffic crash injury severity and to test its performance over existing machine learning classification methods. First, we compare the performance of the neural network, XGBoost, and SVM classifiers in injury severity prediction. Second, we utilize a severity category-combination method with oversampling to relieve the class-imbalance problem prevalent in crash data. Third, we take advantage of probability calibration and the optimal probability threshold moving to improve the prediction ability of ordinal classification. The proposed approach can satisfy the rank consistency and rank monotonicity requirement and is proved to be superior to other ordinal classification methods and nominal classification machine learning by statistical significance test. Important factors relating to injury severity are selected based on their permutation feature importance scores. We find that converting severity levels into three classes, minor injury, moderate injury, and serious injury, can substantially improve the prediction precision.

Glutamyl Transferase

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is considered a problem to the health of societies are the main. There are around 120-130 million or 3% of the world's total population infected with HCV. Without treatment, most major infectious acute evolve into chronic, followed by diseases liver, such as cirrhosis and cancer liver. The data parameters used in this study included albumin (ALB), bilirubin (BIL), choline esterase (CHE), -glutamyl-transferase (GGT), aspartate amino-transferase (AST), alanine amino-transferase (ALT), cholesterol (CHOL), creatinine (CREA), protein (PROT), and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This research proposes a methodology based on machine learning classification methods including k-nearest neighbors, naïve Bayes, neural network, and random forest. The aim of this study is to assess and evaluate the level of accuracy using the algorithm classification machine learning to detect the disease HCV. The result show that the accuracy of the method NN has a value of accuracy are high, namely at 95.12% compared to the method KNN, naïve Bayes and RF in a row amounted to 89.43%, 90.24%, and 94.31%.
