Data Mining in Atherosclerosis Risk Factor Data

The aim of this chapter is to describe goals, current results, and further plans of long-time activity concerning application of data mining and machine learning methods to the complex medical data set. The analyzed data set concerns a longitudinal study of atherosclerosis risk factors. The structure and main features of this data set, as well as methodology of observation of risk factors, are introduced. The important first steps of analysis of atherosclerosis data are described in details together with a large set of analytical questions defined on the basis of first results. Experience in solving these tasks is summarized and further directions of analysis are outlined.
