Prediction of outpatients with conjunctivitis in Xinjiang based on LSTM and GRU models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reasonable and accurate forecasting of outpatient visits helps hospital managers optimize the allocation of medical resources, facilitates fine hospital management, and is of great significance in improving hospital efficiency and treatment capacity.

Methods

Based on conjunctivitis outpatient data from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University Ophthalmology from 2017/1/1 to 2019/12/31, this paper built and evaluated Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models for outpatient visits prediction.

Results

In predicting the number of conjunctivitis visits over the next 31 days, the LSTM model had a root mean square error (RMSE) of 2.86 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.39, the GRU model has an RMSE of 2.60 and an MAE of 1.99.

Conclusions

The GRU method can better predict trends in hospital outpatient flow over time, thus providing decision support for medical staff and outpatient management.

Project description:In the dynamic landscape of financial markets, accurate forecasting of stock indices remains a pivotal yet challenging task, essential for investors and policymakers alike. This study is motivated by the need to enhance the precision of predicting the Shanghai Composite Index's opening price spread, a critical measure reflecting market volatility and investor sentiment. Traditional time series models like ARIMA have shown limitations in capturing the complex, nonlinear patterns inherent in stock price movements, prompting the exploration of advanced methodologies. The aim of this research is to bridge the gap in forecasting accuracy by developing a hybrid model that integrates the strengths of ARIMA with deep learning techniques, specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks. This novel approach leverages the ARIMA model's proficiency in linear trend analysis and the deep learning models' capability in modeling nonlinear dependencies, aiming to provide a comprehensive tool for market prediction. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset covering the period from December 20, 1990, to June 2, 2023, the study develops and assesses the efficacy of ARIMA, LSTM, GRU, ARIMA-LSTM, and ARIMA-GRU models in forecasting the Shanghai Composite Index's opening price spread. The evaluation of these models is based on key statistical metrics, including Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), to gauge their predictive accuracy. The findings indicate that the hybrid models, ARIMA-LSTM and ARIMA-GRU, perform better in forecasting the opening price spread of the Shanghai Composite Index than their standalone counterparts. This outcome suggests that combining traditional statistical methods with advanced deep learning algorithms can enhance stock market prediction. The research contributes to the field by providing evidence of the potential benefits of integrating different modeling approaches for financial forecasting, offering insights that could inform investment strategies and financial decision-making.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves numerous variables, but only a few significantly impact the classification task. The statistically equivalent signature (SES) method, inspired by constraint-based learning of Bayesian networks, is employed to identify essential features in CKD. Unlike conventional feature selection methods, which typically focus on a single set of features with the highest predictive potential, the SES method can identify multiple predictive feature subsets with similar performance. However, most feature selection (FS) classifiers perform suboptimally with strongly correlated data. The FS approach faces challenges in identifying crucial features and selecting the most effective classifier, particularly in high-dimensional data. This study proposes using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) in conjunction with the SES method for feature selection in CKD identification. Following this, an ensemble deep-learning model combining long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks is proposed for CKD classification. The features selected by the hybrid feature selection method are fed into the ensemble deep-learning model. The model's performance is evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score metrics. The experimental results are compared with individual classifiers, including decision tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), and support vector machine (SVM). The findings indicate a 2% improvement in classification accuracy when using the proposed hybrid feature selection method combined with the LSTM and GRU ensemble deep-learning model. Further analysis reveals that certain features, such as HEMO, POT, bacteria, and coronary artery disease, contribute minimally to the classification task. Future research could explore additional feature selection methods, including dynamic feature selection that adapts to evolving datasets and incorporates clinical knowledge to enhance CKD classification accuracy further.
