In part 1, we went over how to use data visualization and data analysis prior to machine learning. For example, we discussed how to visualize the data to identify potential issues in the dataset, examine the variable distributions, etc. In this blog post, we’ll continue by building a very simple model and using data visualization […]

Objectives: While clinical laboratories report most test results as individual numbers, findings, or observations, clinical diagnosis usually relies on the results of multiple tests. Clinical decision support that integrates multiple elements of laboratory data could be highly useful in enhancing laboratory diagnosis.
