The application of machine learning to predict high-cost patients: A performance-comparison of different models using healthcare claims data

Our aim was to predict future high-cost patients with machine learning using healthcare claims data. We applied a random forest (RF), a gradient boosting machine (GBM), an artificial neural network (ANN) and a logistic regression (LR) to predict high-cost patients in the following year. Therefore, w...
