This paper proposes an RG hyperparameter optimization approach, based on a sequential use of random search (R) and grid search (G), for improving the blood glucose level prediction of boosting ensemble learning models. An indirect prediction of blood glucose levels in patients is performed, based on historical medical data collected by means of physical examination methods, using 40 human body’s health indicators. The conducted experiments with real clinical data proved that the proposed RG double optimization approach helps improve the prediction performance of four state-of-the-art boosting ensemble learning models enriched by it, achieving 1.47% to 24.40% MSE improvement and 0.75% to 11.54% RMSE improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
