Course Highlights

In addition to sample exams, a number of lecture notes and homework assignments are available for this course.

Course Description

This course presents the main concepts of decision analysis, artificial intelligence and predictive model construction and evaluation in the specific context of medical applications. It emphasizes the advantages and disadvantages of using these methods in real-world systems and provides hands-on experience. Its technical focus is on decision support, knowledge-based systems (qualitative and quantitative), learning systems (including logistic regression, classification trees, neural networks, rough sets), and techniques to evaluate the performance of such systems. It reviews computer-based diagnosis, planning and monitoring of therapeutic interventions. It also discusses implemented medical applications and the software tools used in their construction. Students produce a final project using the machine learning methods learned in the course, based on actual clinical data.

Projects

Below are some examples of projects developed in this course, by domain:

  1. Anonymization of Databases
    • Using Boolean Reasoning to Anonymize Databases
  2. Diagnostic Models
    • Using Patient-Reportable Clinical History Factors to Predict Myocardial Infarction

  3. Prognostic Models
    • Development and Evaluation of Models to Predict Death and Myocardial Infarction Following Coronary Angioplasty and Stenting
    • Major Complications after Angioplasty in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure: A Comparison of Predictive Models
Readings

There is no required textbook for this course, however, the following textbooks are recommended for reference:

Hastie, T., R. Tibshirani, and J. H. Friedman. The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction. (Springer Series in Statistics.) New York, NY: Springer Verlag, October 2001. ISBN: 0387952845.

Prerequisites

Familiarity with SAS and MATLAB® will be helpful, and consultation with respective user manuals may be necessary.

Grading

30% Homework

Homework's are due at the end of each module. They may require programming, and all code must be included. They are to be solved individually. Homework's received after the deadline may be subject to substantial grade penalty. No homework's will be accepted after the solutions have been handled.

30% Midterm

The midterm will contain topics from decision analysis and machine learning. There will be a strict time limit of 1.5 h. Students should bring class notes, homework solutions, and readings.

40% Final Project

The final project has to be developed for this course and should be done individually. Although the project may contain parts developed previously for another purpose, it is essential that substantial effort be demonstrated into developing a project specifically for this class. A final report in the form of a 5+ page paper is expected, as well as a demonstration of the implementation in the form of a 15 minute presentation. Students are advised to discuss their projects with the instructors ahead of time. Examples of final reports will be handled during the course.
