Begin data preprocessing and learn about Elixhauser comorbidity index

← back to home

These next few weeks we will take the knowledge we have learned from working a little bit with MIMIC-III and begin to work on replicating the paper's findings.First part of this is to preprocess data required for the analysis.

Topics

You will be touching on the following topics.

  • Elixhauser comorbidity index
  • Data Preprocessing
  • Working on a replication pipeline
  • combining replication efforts within your team (e.g. git/github)

Tasks

  • Create a materialized or virtual view of that datatable(s) you need to perform this analysis
  • Begin to process data and work from the methods section of the capstone paper
  • Continue to familairize yourself with the domain as needed. Domain Expertise Page
  • Submit question answers to the online form (linked below)
