Logistic Regression Using Hyperparameter Optimization on COVID-19 Patients’ Vital Status

Abstract

This study aims to classify COVID-19 patients based on the results of their hematology tests. Hematology test results have been shown to be useful in identifying the severity and risk of COVID-19 patients. Specifically, this study focuses on classifying COVID-19 patients based on their vital status, namely Deceased and Alive. The dataset used in this study contains four variables: white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils (NEU), lymphocytes (LYM), and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR). Logistic Regression algorithm was used to solve the problem, and hyperparameter optimization was implemented to obtain the best model performance. The objective of this study was to build the best parameter in classifying the patients’ vital status. The proposed model achieved an accuracy score of 78%, which is the best performance among the tested models. The results of this study provide a key component for decision making in hospitals, as it provides a way to quickly and accurately identify the vital status of COVID-19 patients. This study has important implications for managing the COVID-19 pandemic and should be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field.
