Project Title:
Learning Patient-Specific Models from Clinical Data

Funding Agency:National Institutes of Health

Total Project Period:
Jan 24, 2005 – Jan 23, 2008  
    
Principal Investigator:
Derek Angus, MD (sub award from Gregory F. Cooper, MD)

Co-Investigator(s):
Greg Cooper; Derek Angus; Don Yealy.

Project Summary:
This study addresses an important problem, i.e., modeling clinical data and predicting the disease or symptoms of individual patients.  The main aim of this application is to develop a machine-learning algorithm that constructs patient-specific predictive models from clinical data.  Such a model might improve the prediction accuracy when sample size is very large.
