Predictive Data Mining Models for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Infected Patients’ Recovery

Abstract

Novel coronavirus (COVID-19 or 2019-nCoV) pandemic has neither clinically proven vaccine nor drugs; however, its patients are recovering with the aid of antibiotic medications, anti-viral drugs, and chloroquine as well as vitamin C supplementation. It is now evident that the world needs a speedy and quicker solution to contain and tackle the further spread of COVID-19 across the world with the aid of non-clinical approaches such as data mining approaches, augmented intelligence and other artificial intelligence techniques so as to mitigate the huge burden on the healthcare system while providing the best possible means for patients' diagnosis and prognosis of the 2019-nCoV pandemic effectively. In this study, data mining models were developed for the prediction of COVID-19 infected patients' recovery using epidemiological dataset of COVID-19 patients of South Korea. The decision tree, support vector machine, naive Bayes, logistic regression, random forest, and K-nearest neighbor algorithms were applied directly on the dataset using python programming language to develop the models. The model predicted a minimum and maximum number of days for COVID-19 patients to recover from the virus, the age group of patients who are of high risk not to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, those who are likely to recover and those who might be likely to recover quickly from COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the present study have shown that the model developed with decision tree data mining algorithm is more efficient to predict the possibility of recovery of the infected patients from COVID-19 pandemic with the overall accuracy of 99.85% which stands to be the best model developed among the models developed with other algorithms including support vector machine, naive Bayes, logistic regression, random forest, and K-nearest neighbor.

Predictive Supervised Machine Learning Models for Diabetes Mellitus

“…Naïve Bayes is also a supervised ML algorithm based on the Bayes theorem. It learns by estimating the prior probability of each class using a training dataset [2]. The Bayes theorem is in the Eq.…”

“…Machine learning (ML) is one of the sub-branches of artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with the ways in which machines learn from experience [1][2][3]. However, some of the computer scientists are of the opinion that the terms AI and ML are identical because of the possibility of learning from experience which is the main feature of the entity called intelligent system [4][5][6].…”

Diagnosis of COVID-19 from X-rays Using Combined CNN-RNN Architecture with Transfer Learning

“…Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many efforts have been explored to develop a system for the diagnosis of COVID-19 using artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning [12], deep learning [13]. In this section, a detailed description is provided about the recently developed systems to diagnose COVID-19 cases.…”

“…There are several types of diseases such as heart disease [3], breast cancer [4,5], liver disorder [6], diabetes [7] available in medical science that causes a lot of problems in human health but the current pandemic is COVID-19 [8,9]. The major symptoms for COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, breathing difficulties, and dry cough [10].…”
