Abstract

Accurately identifying diseases with similar symptoms, especially in resource-limited medical settings, is a key challenge to diagnostic accuracy. This paper presents a preliminary diagnostic system to address the challenge of diagnosing diseases with similar symptoms. The system has been implemented using the PyQt5 library and employs a unique symptom identification algorithm developed in Python. Furthermore, to carry out the diagnosis, it uses comma-separated values (CSV) and excel files as databases where the diseases and their respective symptoms are stored. The results show that the system has a precision of 95%, a sensitivity of 90%, and a specificity of 93% after evaluating 35 clinical cases covering seven diseases with similar initial symptoms, namely: dengue, zika, chikungunya, COVID-19, influenza, monkey-pox, and the common cold. Furthermore, the positive evaluation of the technical performance of the system by experts supports its practical feasibility and its potential as a valuable tool in medical practice. In conclusion, the system diagnoses diseases by analyzing the symptoms of the information file, highlighting its usefulness in improving the diagnostic accuracy of similar cases and optimizing medical care for the benefit of patients.

Abstract

In the university context, student dropout has become one of the most recurring problems, both in the short and long term. The objective of this research was to develop a predictive model using the random forest (RF) algorithm to identify patterns associated with university dropout. To achieve this, the knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) methodology was applied, which encompasses the stages of selection, preprocessing, transformation, data mining, and interpretation of results. The RF model demonstrated superior performance compared to other evaluated models, achieving an accuracy of 87%, a precision of 86%, a recall of 85%, an F1-score of 85%, and an receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) of 0.91, highlighting its high predictive capability compared to other techniques analyzed. Therefore, the application of the proposed model is recommended in various university institutions in order to identify potential dropout cases at an early stage.

Abstract

Sleep quality has become a growing public health issue worldwide, mainly due to a lack of awareness about its long-term consequences. Despite existing strategies to address this problem, there remains a need for more effective approaches. In this study, an early detection model for sleep disorders was implemented using the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm, following the knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) methodology, which includes the phases of selection, preprocessing, transformation, data mining, and interpretation. A dataset extracted from the Kaggle platform in CSV format was used, consisting of 374 records. With an overall accuracy of 91.5%, a recall of 100% for the insomnia class, and a precision of 100% for sleep apnea, the proposed model demonstrated exceptional performance. It also received an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.909 and an average F1-score of 0.913. With a mean accuracy of 91%, a 95% confidence interval (0.89–0.94), and a p-value of 0.0012, cross-validation confirmed its robustness and showed a statistically significant change from the baseline model. The error rates remained within clinically acceptable ranges, confirming its applicability as a diagnostic support tool. Overall, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in identifying patterns related to sleep disorders.
