Abstract
According to literature, myopia has become the second most common eye disease in China, and the incidence of myopia is increasing year by year, and showing a trend of younger age. Previous researches have shown that the occurrence of myopia is mainly determined by poor eye habits, including reading and writing posture, eye length, and so on, and parents’ heredity. In order to better prevent myopia in adolescents, this paper studies the influence of related factors on myopia incidence in adolescents based on machine learning method. A feature selection method based on both univariate correlation analysis and multivariate correlation analysis is used to better construct a feature sub-set for model training. A method based on GBRT is provided to help fill in missing items in the original data. The prediction model is built based on SVM model. Data transformation has been used to improve the prediction accuracy. Results show that our method could achieve reasonable performance and accuracy.
Highlights
With the growth of social consumption and the increasing popularity of hand-held electronic terminal equipment, the incidence of myopia continues to rise
We presented a method based on Gradient Boosting Regression Tree (GBRT) to build a regression model to fill in the missing items
A prediction model of myopia in adolescents based on both measurement and behavior data of primary school students is presented
Summary
With the growth of social consumption and the increasing popularity of hand-held electronic terminal equipment, the incidence of myopia continues to rise. Myopia has become the second most common eye disease in China, and the incidence of myopia is increasing year by year, and showing a trend of younger age. Because of the heavy burden of schoolwork and the growth and development of the eyes, bad eye habits and excessive eye use can lead to myopia in adolescents. Myopia has become the primary problem that puzzles the development of adolescents in China. The myopia rate of primary school students in China has increased from about 10% in the first grade to nearly 40% in the sixth grade. The myopia rate of primary and middle school students in the United States is 10%
