My father suffers from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and I want to analyze the data to better understand the cause of his poor appetite. The University of California Irvine (UCI) database contains biomarkers related to CKD and appetite records that allow exploring relevant clinical relationships.
A decision tree is very useful for interpreting large volumes of data because it reasons in a human-like way, answering binary questions at each node when it finds relevant biomarkers. For example, a rule extracted from the tree can indicate that if hemoglobin is <= 10.25, the patient has a high probability of reporting poor appetite.
A model can be trained with existing data so that, when receiving new information without the outcome, it returns a prediction. The sklearn library provides the DecisionTreeClassifier class, which automatically builds the binary tree and makes it easy to obtain interpretable rules. Unlike other methods, the tree offers yes or no splits at each level, which helps explain why a clinical prediction was reached.
Summary of the recommended workflow: prepare and clean the data, select relevant variables, split into training and test sets, train DecisionTreeClassifier, validate with appropriate metrics, and extract the tree rules for review with healthcare professionals. It is essential to clinically validate any prediction before using it in medical decisions.
