Predicting Heart Failure Survival with Machine Learning Models — Part II

Towards AI

That post was dedicated to an exploratory data analysis while this post is geared towards building prediction models. In our exercise, we will try to deal with this imbalance by — Using a stratified k-fold cross-validation technique to make sure our model’s aggregate metrics are not too optimistic (meaning: too good to be true!)
