Prediction of Incident Diabetes in the Jackson Heart Study Using High-Dimensional Machine Learning.

Statistical models to predict incident diabetes are often based on limited variables. Here we pursued two main goals: 1) investigate the relative performance of a machine learning method such as Random Forests (RF) for detecting incident diabetes in a high-dimensional setting defined by a large set...
