Predictive Modeling for Diabetes Risk

Overview

This project aims to develop predictive models to assess the risk of diabetes based on various factors such as age, education, income, and health behaviors.

Main Objectives

  • Early Diagnosis: Identify individuals at risk for early intervention.
  • Resource Allocation: Efficiently allocate healthcare resources.
  • Public Health: Aid in planning public health campaigns.

Dataset

Derived from the CDC's BRFSS 2015 survey, the dataset includes 21 feature variables related to health behaviors, chronic conditions, and preventive services utilization.

Models Explored

  • Logistic Regression: Serves as a baseline for comparison.
  • Decision Trees: Captures complex relationships.
  • Naive Bayes: Offers a probabilistic approach.
  • Random Forest: Provides high predictive performance.

Evaluation

The models are evaluated based on their ability to predict diabetes status accurately, with a focus on recall to minimize false negatives.

Conclusion

The analysis provides insights into diabetes risk factors and the effectiveness of different predictive models.
