Diabetes Prediction Using Derived Features and Ensembling of Boosting Classifiers

Diabetes is increasing commonly in people’s daily life and represents an extraordinary threat to human well-being.Machine Learning(ML)in the healthcare industry has recently made headlines.Several ML models are developed around different datasets for diabetic prediction.It is essential for ML models to predict diabetes accurately.Highly informative features of the dataset are vital to determine the capability factors of the model in the prediction of diabetes.Feature engineering(FE)is the way of taking forward in yielding highly informative features.Pima Indian Diabetes Dataset(PIDD)is used in this work,and the impact of informative features in ML models is experimented with and analyzed for the prediction of diabetes.Missing values(MV)and the effect of the imputation process in the data distribution of each feature are analyzed.Permutation importance and partial dependence are carried out extensively and the results revealed that Glucose(GLUC),Body Mass Index(BMI),and Insulin(INS)are highly informative features.Derived features are obtained for BMI and INS to add more information with its raw form.The ensemble classifier with an ensemble of AdaBoost(AB)and XGBoost(XB)is considered for the impact analysis of the proposed FE approach.The ensemble model performs well for the inclusion of derived features provided the high Diagnostics Odds Ratio(DOR)of 117.694.This shows a high margin of 8.2%when compared with the ensemble model with no derived features(DOR=96.306)included in the experiment.The inclusion of derived features with the FE approach of the current state-of-the-art made the ensemble model performs well with Sensitivity(0.793),Specificity(0.945),DOR(79.517),and False Omission Rate(0.090)which further improves the state-of-the-art results.

A NOVEL ALGORITHM OF MULTI-SENSOR IMAGE FUSION BASED ON WAVELET PACKET TRANSFORM

In order to enhance the image information from multi-sensor and to improve the abilities of the information analysis and the feature extraction, this letter proposed a new fusion approach in pixel level by means of the Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT). The WPT is able to decompose an image into low frequency band and high frequency band in higher scale. It offers a more precise method for image analysis than Wavelet Transform (WT). Firstly, the proposed approach employs HIS (Hue, Intensity, Saturation) transform to obtain the intensity component of CBERS (China-Brazil Earth Resource Satellite) multi-spectral image. Then WPT transform is employed to decompose the intensity component and SPOT (Systeme Pour I'Observation de la Therre ) image into low frequency band and high frequency band in three levels. Next, two high frequency coefficients and low frequency coefficients of the images are combined by linear weighting strategies. Finally, the fused image is obtained with inverse WPT and inverse HIS. The results show the new approach can fuse details of input image successfully, and thereby can obtain a more satisfactory result than that of HM (Histogram Matched)-based fusion algorithm and WT-based fusion approach.

The Application of Wavelet Transform in Analysis of Digital Precursory Observational Data

Digital data of precursors is noted for its high accuracy. Therefore, it is important to extract the high frequency information from the low ones in the digital data of precursors and to discriminate between the trend anomalies and the short-term anomalies. This paper presents a method to separate the high frequency information from the low ones by using the wavelet transform to analyze the digital data of precursors, and illustrates with examples the train of thoughts of discriminating the short-term anomalies from trend anomalies by using the wavelet transform, thus provide a new effective approach for extracting the short-term and trend anomalies from the digital data of precursors.

On physical education of vocational high school students under the context of IT development

The integration of information technology and the continuous development of the information network make the college physical education degree of information technology constantly improving. College physical education is not only formed in the internal network, then sharing information resources and making sports teaching organization efficient as a whole, but communicate with the external network, formatting the Internet and producing significant changes in the teaching environment of college sports and sports teaching. College physical education is facing the reformation of better educated and digitization, virtualization, molecules, networking, agile and globalization. Physical education and sports teaching degree of information is closely related.
