Machine Learning Model Enabled with Data Optimisation for Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disorders remain leading cause for mortality worldwide, necessitating robust early risk assessment. Although machine learning models show promise, most rely on conventional preprocessing, which lacks model portability across datasets. We propose an integrated preprocessing pipeline enhancing model generalizability. Our methodology standardises features solely based on training statistics and then transforms test data identically to prevent leakage. We handle class imbalance through synchronised oversampling, enabling consistent performance despite distribution shifts. This framework was evaluated on an open-source dataset of clinical parameters from an African cohort using classifiers like support vector machines and gradient boosting. All models achieved upto 80% accuracy. Remarkably, evaluating the identical models on five external European and Asian datasets maintains 80% - 86% accuracy. Our reproducible data conditioning strategy enables precise and transportable heart disease risk prediction, overcoming population variability. The framework provides the flexibility to readily retrain models on new data or update risk algorithms for clinical implementation in diverse locales. Our work accelerates the safe translation of machine learning to guide cardiovascular screening worldwide. 2024 IEEE. -
Predictive Analysis of Sleep Disorders Using Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Analysis
The diagnosis of sleep disorders often relies on subjective patient reports, sleep diaries, and potentially cumbersome polysomnography (PSG) tests. However, these methods have limitations such as subjectivity, sleep diaries require meticulous effort, and expensive PSG tests are expensive, resource-intensive, and may not accurately capture sleep patterns in a non-clinical setting. Sleep disorders pose significant health risks and can impair overall well-being. Predictive analysis plays a crucial role in identifying individuals at risk of developing sleep disorders, enabling timely interventions and personalized treatment plans. In this paper, a comparative analysis of regression and classification models for sleep disorders prediction using machine learning (ML) techniques on insomnia and sleep apnea are discussed. Through extensive experimentation and comparative analysis, XGBoost and AdaBoost demonstrated as the most effective predictive models for insomnia and sleep apnea. AdaBoost and XGBoost classifiers are displaying 93.49% and 92.73% respectively. It is therefore possible to draw the conclusion that AdaBoost and XGBoost are doing well based on the findings as a whole, as indicated by the results. Our findings contribute to advancing the understanding and application of ML techniques in sleep disorder prediction, paving the way for more accurate and timely diagnosis based on ML techniques and personalized interventions in clinical practices. 2024 IEEE. -

An Outlook of Gender Differential Happiness in India
Studies on happiness and subjective wellbeing, in general, are aplenty, but applying a gender lens to it is comparatively rare, especially in the Indian context. The social construction of gender roles will influence happiness being a subjective matter. This paper explores this idea of gender differential happiness in light of India's peculiar social and cultural context. Using the World Value Survey (WVS) for India (Wave 6) in 2012 and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression analysis, the study finds that self-reported happiness is gender differential in India. Factors such as marital status, educational attainments, managerial roles and thrust on women empowerment were found to be vital for happiness for all. However, there are visible patriarchal gender stereotype notions with factors such as individual autonomy and homemaking. 2024 IEEE.
