Increasing efficiency of SVMp+ for handling missing values in healthcare prediction.

ABSTRACT: Missing data presents a challenge for machine learning applications specifically when utilizing electronic health records to develop clinical decision support systems. The lack of these values is due in part to the complex nature of clinical data in which the content is personalized to each patient. Several methods have been developed to handle this issue, such as imputation or complete case analysis, but their limitations restrict the solidity of findings. However, recent studies have explored how using some features as fully available privileged information can increase model performance including in SVM. Building on this insight, we propose a computationally efficient kernel SVM-based framework (l2-SVMp+) that leverages partially available privileged information to guide model construct
