Height Prediction Using Basic Data
Daniel S. | Summer 2023

I used basic data sets to see if some learning models have a chance of predicting height based on country and age.


With the use of an accurate height prediction, doctors understand a patient better by seeing if they are under or above their predicted height. I used basic data sets to see if some learning models have a chance of predicting height based on country and age. Decision tree regressor, Linear regression, and random forest regressions were successful models that I used. The AI prediction varied between a miss of 40cm all the way to 100 cm throughout all models. But After hyper tunneling the model, it got to a closely stable average of 17 cm off the real height. Although being off 17 cm is not respectable in the Medical World, this may prove that with higher ends of data, height prediction may be applicable to medical use.

Brain Cancer Detection

Current methods for determining the presence and type of brain tumor in a given patient’s MRI scan can oftentimes be inefficient and are prone for error. By using a machine learning algorithm, the error in these classifications is reduced significantly, and the process is made much more efficient.
