Using Artificial Neural Network as a Tool for Epidemiological Data Analysis

The importance of socio-economic part of medicine still increases. This study was performed to investigate abilities to use Artificial Neural Network as a tool for epidemiological data analysis. Back-propagation neural networks were simulated on own-written software. The sensitivity analysis results of created models suggest that ANN are able to discover most significant factors for studied output and as a consequence of this could be helpful for medical policy makers in decision process.
