Pattern discovery visual analytics system to analyze characteristics of clinical data and generate patient cohorts

摘要

In pattern discovery visual analytics, a patient data table (14) is generated that tabulates, for each patient, attribute values for a set of attributes. A positive or negative prediction is generated for each patient for a target value of a target attribute using a prediction pattern (20) of attribute values for w attributes (22). The prediction is positive if at least a threshold fraction (26) of the w attributes of the patient match the prediction pattern, is negative otherwise. Patients are grouped into a selected proportion of a confusion matrix (30) in accord with the positive or negative predictions and actual values of the target attribute T in the patient data table. A display component (4) displays a representation (42) of patient statistics for the selected proportion of the confusion matrix on a per-attribute basis for attributes of the w attributes. A patient cohort (44) is identified using the representation.
