Abstract

Detection of early signs of the diseases at geospatial level can help in promoting evidence-based health policies and proper disease management strategies to be formulated beforehand. In this paper, we report the performance of XGboosting algorithm as a part of a novel unified predictive modelling framework. The proposed scalable end to end tree boosting system called XGBoost, results in significantly improved performance. The experimental validation of the proposed algorithm, when compared with traditional shallow machine learning techniques, for two publicly available cardiovascular disease datasets (the NHANES dataset, and the Framingham Heart Study CHS dataset), resulted in promising outcomes, in terms of performance of different performance metrics including prediction accuracy and model building time.
