Identified the drivers of the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease using the Sleep Heart Health Study dataset

Duke Plus Data Science Program

Project goal

Identified the drivers of the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease using the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) dataset.

Details

1. Conducted data pre-processing including transformations, imputation, deduplication, and construction of survival labels.
2. Performed Exploratory Data Analyses using paired t-test and factor analysis to quantify univariate associations and identify underlying structures of the data.
3. Trained the Lasso-Cox Proportional Hazards model and XGBoost-Accelerated Failure Time model to measure the contributions of factors towards increasing or decreasing risk and to model complex feature interactions.

Software
