Data Fusion in a health survey

Description

The aim of the project is to obtain prediction models for the main health risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes for the whole population, as well as to provide an estimate for the entire 2006 Catalan Health Survey dataset. A data fusion methodology has been applied to improve the Survey from a sample review, providing objective measures of major health risks.

In collaboration with IDESCAT (Statistical Institute of Catalonia) for the Catalan Institute of Health of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
