โฆ Synopsis
We apply a battery of modern, adaptive non-linear learning methods to a large real database of cardiac patient data. We use each method to predict 30 day mortality from a large number of potential risk factors, and we compare their performances. We find that none of the methods could outperform a relatively simple logistic regression model previously developed for this problem.
