MSHA 412-DL : Feature Engineering and Text Mining

Description

This course will provide students with the skills to develop analytical features from health datasets. Students will develop an understanding of healthcare data, particularly electronic health record (EHR) data, and use R & SQL to build features for analytical modeling. In addition to working with continuous and categorical health data, students will understand and develop skills for natural language processing to extract discrete data elements from free-text clinical documentation, such as physician notes, for the development of analytical features.
