This paper explains the use of the Random Forest Algorithm to investigate the Case of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The objectives of this study are to review the evaluation of the use of data science techniques and machine learning algorithms in creating a model that can classify whether or not cases of acute coronary syndrome occur. The research method used in this study refers to the IBM Foundational Methodology for Data Science, include: i) inventorying dataset about ACS, ii) preprocessing for the data into four sub-processes, i.e. requirements, collection, understanding, and preparation, iii) determination of RFA, i.e. the "n" of the tree which will form a forest and forming trees from the random forest that has been created, and iv) determination of the model evaluation and result in analysis based on Python programming language. Based on the experiments that the learning have been conducted using a random forest machine-learning algorithm with an n-estimator value of 100 and each tree's depth (max depth) with a value of 4, learning scenarios of 70:30, 80:20, and 90:10 on 444 cases of acute coronary syndrome data. The results show that the 70:30 scenario model has the best results, with an accuracy value of 83.45%, a precision value of 85%, and a recall value of 92.4%. Conclusions obtained from the experiment results were evaluated with various statistical metrics (accuracy, precision, and recall) in each learning scenario on 444 cases of acute coronary syndrome data with a cross-validation value of 10 fold.

Critical Care Admission

Introduction: Overcrowded emergency departments (ED) and undifferentiated patients make the provision of care and resources challenging. We examined whether machine learning algorithms could identify ED patients’ disposition (hospitalization and critical care admission) using readily available objective triage data among patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: This was a retrospective observational cohort study of adult patients who were triaged at the ED for a suspected coronary event. A total of 162 input variables (k) were extracted from the electronic health record: demographics (k=3), mode of transportation (k=1), past medical/surgical history (k=57), first ED vital signs (k=7), home medications (k=31), symptomology (k=40), and the computer generated automatic interpretation of 12-lead electrocardiogram (k=23). The primary outcomes were hospitalization and critical care admission (i.e., admission to intensive or step-down care unit). We used 10-fold stratified cross validation to evaluate the performance of five machine learning algorithms to predict the study outcomes: logistic regression, naïve Bayes, random forest, gradient boosting and artificial neural network classifiers. We determined the best model by comparing the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of all models. Results: Included were 1201 patients (age 64±14, 39% female; 10% Black) with a total of 956 hospitalizations, and 169 critical care admissions. The best performing machine learning classifier for the outcome of hospitalization was gradient boosting machine with an AUC of 0.85 (95% CI, 0.82–0.89), 89% sensitivity, and F-score of 0.83; random forest classifier performed the best for the outcome of critical care admission with an AUC of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.70–0.77), 76% sensitivity, and F-score of 0.56. Conclusion: Predictive machine learning algorithms demonstrate excellent to good discriminative power to predict hospitalization and critical care admission, respectively. Administrators and clinicians could benefit from machine learning approaches to predict hospitalization and critical care admission, to optimize and allocate scarce ED and hospital resources and provide optimal care.

SUMMARY Rock thermal conductivity is an essential input parameter for enhanced oil recovery methods design and optimization and for basin and petroleum system modelling. Absence of any effective technique for direct in situ measurements of rock thermal conductivity makes the development of well-log based methods for rock thermal conductivity determination highly desirable. A major part of the existing problem solutions is regression model-based approaches. Literature review revealed that there are only several studies performed to assess the applicability of neural network-based algorithms to predict rock thermal conductivity from well-logging data. In this research, we aim to define the most effective machine-learning algorithms for well-log based determination of rock thermal conductivity. Well-logging data acquired at a heavy oil reservoir together with results of thermal logging on cores extracted from two wells were the basis for our research. Eight different regression models were developed and tested to predict vertical variations of rock conductivity from well-logging data. Additionally, rock thermal conductivity was determined based on Lichtenecker–Asaad model. Comparison study of regression-based and theoretical-based approaches was performed. Among considered machine learning techniques Random Forest algorithm was found to be the most accurate at well-log based determination of rock thermal conductivity. From a comparison of the thermal conductivity—depth profile predicted from well-logging data with the experimental data, and it can be concluded that thermal conductivity can be determined with a total relative error of 12.54 per cent. The obtained results prove that rock thermal conductivity can be inferred from well-logging data for wells that are drilled in a similar geological setting based on the Random Forest algorithm with an accuracy sufficient for industrial needs.

Online social networks are of essence, as a tool for communication, for millions of people in their real world. However, online social networks also serve an arena of information war. One tool for infowar is bots, which are thought of as software designed to simulate the real user’s behaviour in online social networks.The paper objective is to develop a model for recognition of bots in online social networks. To develop this model, a machine-learning algorithm “Random Forest” was used. Since implementation of machine-learning algorithms requires the maximum data amount, the Twitter online social network was used to solve the problem of bot recognition. This online social network is regularly used in many studies on the recognition of bots.For learning and testing the Random Forest algorithm, a Twitter account dataset was used, which involved above 3,000 users and over 6,000 bots. While learning and testing the Random Forest algorithm, the optimal hyper-parameters of the algorithm were determined at which the highest value of the F1 metric was reached. As a programming language that allowed the above actions to be implemented, was chosen Python, which is frequently used in solving problems related to machine learning.To compare the developed model with the other authors’ models, testing was based on the two Twitter account datasets, which involved as many as half of bots and half of real users. As a result of testing on these datasets, F1-metrics of 0.973 and 0.923 were obtained. The obtained F1-metric values  are quite high as compared with the papers of other authors.As a result, in this paper a model of high accuracy rates was obtained that can recognize bots in the Twitter online social network.

Heart Disease has become one of the most leading cause of the death on the planet and it has become most life-threatening disease. The early prediction of the heart disease will help in reducing death rate. Predicting Heart Disease has become one of the most difficult challenges in the medical sector in recent years. As per recent statistics, about one person dies from heart disease every minute. In the realm of healthcare, a massive amount of data was discovered for which the data-science is critical for analyzing this massive amount of data. This paper proposes heart disease prediction using different machine-learning algorithms like logistic regression, naïve bayes, support vector machine, k nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest, extreme gradient boost, etc. These machine learning algorithm techniques we used to predict likelihood of person getting heart disease on the basis of features (such as cholesterol, blood pressure, age, sex, etc. which were extracted from the datasets. In our research we used two separate datasets. The first heart disease dataset we used was collected from very famous UCI machine learning repository which has 303 record instances with 14 different attributes (13 features and one target) and the second dataset that we used was collected from Kaggle website which contained 1190 patient’s record instances with 11 features and one target. This dataset is a combination of 5 popular datasets for heart disease. This study compares the accuracy of various machine learning techniques. In our research, for the first dataset we got the highest accuracy of 92% by Support Vector Machine (SVM). And for the second dataset, Random Forest gave us the highest accuracy of 94.12%. Then, we combined both the datasets which we used in our research for which we got the highest accuracy of 93.31% using Random Forest.

AbstractBipolar disorder (BPD) is often confused with major depression, and current diagnostic questionnaires are subjective and time intensive. The aim of this study was to develop a new Bipolar Diagnosis Checklist in Chinese (BDCC) by using machine learning to shorten the Affective Disorder Evaluation scale (ADE) based on an analysis of registered Chinese multisite cohort data. In order to evaluate the importance of each item of the ADE, a case-control study of 360 bipolar disorder (BPD) patients, 255 major depressive disorder (MDD) patients and 228 healthy (no psychiatric diagnosis) controls (HCs) was conducted, spanning 9 Chinese health facilities participating in the Comprehensive Assessment and Follow-up Descriptive Study on Bipolar Disorder (CAFÉ-BD). The BDCC was formed by selected items from the ADE according to their importance as calculated by a random forest machine learning algorithm. Five classical machine learning algorithms, namely, a random forest algorithm, support vector regression (SVR), the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and logistic regression, were used to retrospectively analyze the aforementioned cohort data to shorten the ADE. Regarding the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), the BDCC had high AUCs of 0.948, 0.921, and 0.923 for the diagnosis of MDD, BPD, and HC, respectively, despite containing only 15% (17/113) of the items from the ADE. Traditional scales can be shortened using machine learning analysis. By shortening the ADE using a random forest algorithm, we generated the BDCC, which can be more easily applied in clinical practice to effectively enhance both BPD and MDD diagnosis.

Abstract. Flood is one of the most damaging natural hazards in urban areas in many places around the world as well as the city of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Recently, Fredericton has been flooded in two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019. Due to the complicated behaviour of water when a river overflows its bank, estimating the flood extent is challenging. The issue gets even more challenging when several different factors are affecting the water flow, like the land texture or the surface flatness, with varying degrees of intensity. Recently, machine learning algorithms and statistical methods are being used in many research studies for generating flood susceptibility maps using topographical, hydrological, and geological conditioning factors. One of the major issues that researchers have been facing is the complexity and the number of features required to input in a machine-learning algorithm to produce acceptable results. In this research, we used Random Forest to model the 2018 flood in Fredericton and analyzed the effect of several combinations of 12 different flood conditioning factors. The factors were tested against a Sentinel-2 optical satellite image available around the flood peak day. The highest accuracy was obtained using only 5 factors namely, altitude, slope, aspect, distance from the river, and land-use/cover with 97.57% overall accuracy and 95.14% kappa coefficient.

The financial crisis that hit Ghana from 2015 to 2018 has raised various issues with respect to the efficiency of banks and the safety of depositors’ in the banking industry. As part of measures to improve the banking sector and also restore customers’ confidence, efficiency and performance analysis in the banking industry has become a hot issue. This is because stakeholders have to detect the underlying causes of inefficiencies within the banking industry. Nonparametric methods such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) have been suggested in the literature as a good measure of banks’ efficiency and performance. Machine learning algorithms have also been viewed as a good tool to estimate various nonparametric and nonlinear problems. This paper presents a combined DEA with three machine learning approaches in evaluating bank efficiency and performance using 444 Ghanaian bank branches, Decision Making Units (DMUs). The results were compared with the corresponding efficiency ratings obtained from the DEA. Finally, the prediction accuracies of the three machine learning algorithm models were compared. The results suggested that the decision tree (DT) and its C5.0 algorithm provided the best predictive model. It had 100% accuracy in predicting the 134 holdout sample dataset (30% banks) and a P value of 0.00. The DT was followed closely by random forest algorithm with a predictive accuracy of 98.5% and a P value of 0.00 and finally the neural network (86.6% accuracy) with a P value 0.66. The study concluded that banks in Ghana can use the result of this study to predict their respective efficiencies. All experiments were performed within a simulation environment and conducted in R studio using R codes.

Abstract Background Toll-like receptor 9 is a key innate immune receptor involved in detecting infectious diseases and cancer. TLR9 activates the innate immune system following the recognition of single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides (ODN) containing unmethylated cytosine-guanine (CpG) motifs. Due to the considerable number of rotatable bonds in ODNs, high-throughput in silico screening for potential TLR9 activity via traditional structure-based virtual screening approaches of CpG ODNs is challenging. In the current study, we present a machine learning based method for predicting novel mouse TLR9 (mTLR9) agonists based on features including count and position of motifs, the distance between the motifs and graphically derived features such as the radius of gyration and moment of Inertia. We employed an in-house experimentally validated dataset of 396 single-stranded synthetic ODNs, to compare the results of five machine learning algorithms. Since the dataset was highly imbalanced, we used an ensemble learning approach based on repeated random down-sampling. Results Using in-house experimental TLR9 activity data we found that random forest algorithm outperformed other algorithms for our dataset for TLR9 activity prediction. Therefore, we developed a cross-validated ensemble classifier of 20 random forest models. The average Matthews correlation coefficient and balanced accuracy of our ensemble classifier in test samples was 0.61 and 80.0%, respectively, with the maximum balanced accuracy and Matthews correlation coefficient of 87.0% and 0.75, respectively. We confirmed common sequence motifs including ‘CC’, ‘GG’,‘AG’, ‘CCCG’ and ‘CGGC’ were overrepresented in mTLR9 agonists. Predictions on 6000 randomly generated ODNs were ranked and the top 100 ODNs were synthesized and experimentally tested for activity in a mTLR9 reporter cell assay, with 91 of the 100 selected ODNs showing high activity, confirming the accuracy of the model in predicting mTLR9 activity. Conclusion We combined repeated random down-sampling with random forest to overcome the class imbalance problem and achieved promising results. Overall, we showed that the random forest algorithm outperformed other machine learning algorithms including support vector machines, shrinkage discriminant analysis, gradient boosting machine and neural networks. Due to its predictive performance and simplicity, the random forest technique is a useful method for prediction of mTLR9 ODN agonists.

The start of 2020 marked the beginning of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel SARS-COV-2 from Wuhan, China. As of the time of writing, the virus had infected over 150 million people worldwide and resulted in more than 3.5 million global deaths. Accurate future predictions made through machine learning algorithms can be very useful as a guide for hospitals and policy makers to make adequate preparations and enact effective policies to combat the pandemic. This paper carries out a two pronged approach to analyzing COVID-19. First, the model utilizes the feature significance of random forest regressor to select eight of the most significant predictors (date, new tests, weekly hospital admissions, population density, total tests, total deaths, location, and total cases) for predicting daily increases of Covid-19 cases, highlighting potential target areas in order to achieve efficient pandemic responses. Then it utilizes machine learning algorithms such as linear regression, polynomial regression, and random forest regression to make accurate predictions of daily COVID-19 cases using a combination of this diverse range of predictors and proved to be competent at generating predictions with reasonable accuracy.
