Overview

Objectives

  1. Identify algorithm bias through hierarchical analysis
  2. Remove algorithm bias through conditional models

Assigned Reading

The reading material for this section of the course come from your previous courses and depend on the method you choose to use.  In analyzing response to antidepressants we use regression models:

Assignment

Instruction for Submission of Assignments: Submission should follow these rules:

  1. Include a statement naming the project manager who has examined your report and indicated that it was done on time.
  2. Submit your answers in a Jupyter Notebook Download► YouTube► Slides►
  3. Submit you answers in Canvas.

Task 1: Using your All of Us database, predict response to antidepressants among a subgroup of participants (e.g. Hispanics) in All of Us database. Conduct the analysis in two steps:

  1. Describe the Population.  In this step you need to create Table 1 in your eventual report.  This Table should include the description of the population.  For examples of Table 1 see PubMed.  Provide a summary of your data that includes number of antidepressants examined, number of individuals involved, number of antidepressants discontinued, number of days individuals followed, number of days antidepressants continued, number of medical conditions at baseline of use of antidepressants, number of antidepressants used prior to baseline, experience with previous antidepressants. 

  2. Fit a Regression Models in Subgroups of Data:  Select a subgroup in which you would like to remove algorithm bias.  Identify the number of cases, the percent in remission, and examine the accuracy of risk neutral model.  When appropriate increase the accuracy of the AI system by using different models for different subgroups of patients. 

Task 2: Write the method section of your semester long project report
