The new model works! It is great it still needs some tweaking but it is producing promising results. The scores are also better than the competition. We decided to compare it against different classifiers especially the ones the competition used in their research. Hopefully when they are tested they also perform well.
We have also been doing some of the documentation. That has been going smoothly. From the looks of it the data cleaning process we utilized seems to have made it easier for the models to classify if a patient has sepsis or not. However, we still need to test it by balancing the data since there are still more patients without sepsis that those with. Almost double actually.
We have decided to randomly under-sample the data and also look into methods from the imbalanced learn library to potentially over sample patients with sepsis.
