Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 系統生物與生物資訊研究所 === 103 === Bioinformatics is going to be used as a scientific method to discuss the information we received from the hospital. The main focus would be on the prediction of some major diseases, like heart attack and high blood pressure, for they are the most common problems in patients in Taiwan, or some of the lifestyle habits like smoking, eating and exercise. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary scientific field that develops software tools to generate useful biological knowledge. Bioinformatics can provide input to all scientific fields, and analyzing biological data may involve algorithms in artificial intelligence, soft computing or data mining. Also, for we to draw legitimate inference and make convincing conclusion from findings, statistics plays an important role. After we extracted the initial estimation from the data given to us, some statistic analyses would be applied to in order to optimize the answers. As for results, we hope to find balanced trees indicating reasonable rules for those features we are most interested in, including the attributes that may play a key role when predicting diseases and habits.
