Abstract
Networks have been around a long time, but analytics/data science projects seldom use network level properties directly in analyzing a problem. We illustrate how network measures can be used to help inform medical decision-making. Examples include network applications in descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics: Applications of network metrics in health analytics – comorbidities; descriptive analytics in health demographics based upon comorbidities; incorporating comorbidities to predict hospital lengths of stay; clique modeling to determine identify diseases combinations that impact mortality, etc.
