Abstract

This paper describes the development of a unique multiple disease classification tool to expose and pre-screen for chronic diseases and can be applied to individual surveys. Through data mining of NHANES questionnaires, a transparent and straightforward model is developed which be could apply to future survey data. We show machine learning and dimensional reduction can be beneficial to survey data to determine the risk of multiple chronic diseases in individuals surveyed. The results are used to create a prototype tool that can predict the presence of multiple chronic diseases through fundamental questions. The number of questions are reduced to 5 questions to achieve an acceptable result. The researchers know of no tool currently available that delivers this kind of functionality.
