death_risk_prediction

• Gained experience with decision tree by predicting the 10-year risk of death of individuals from the NHANES I epidemiology dataset
• Dealed with missing data by employin mean imputation and multivariable feature imputation
• Achieved a better predictive performance using Random Forest which also minimized the overfitting
• Applied SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), a cutting edge method that explains predictions made by black-box machine learning models, for better interpretability
