With the development of big data technology, creating the ‘Digital Campus’ is a hot issue. For an increasing amount of data, traditional data mining algorithms are not suitable. The clustering algorithm is becoming more and more important in the field of data mining, but the traditional clustering algorithm does not take the clustering efficiency and clustering effect into consideration. In this paper, the algorithm based on K-Means and clustering by fast search and find of density peaks (K-CFSFDP) is proposed, which improves on the distance and density of data points. This method is used to cluster students from four universities. The experiment shows that K-CFSFDP algorithm has better clustering results and running efficiency than the traditional K-Means clustering algorithm, and it performs well in large scale campus data. Additionally, the results of the cluster analysis show that the students of different categories in four universities had different performances in living habits and learning performance, so the university can learn about the students’ behavior of different categories and provide corresponding personalized services, which have certain practical significance.

For patients with hypertension, serious complications, such as myocardial infarction, a common cause of heart failure, occurs in the late stage of hypertension. Hypertension outcomes can lead to complications, including death. Hypertension outcomes threaten patients’ lives and need to be predicted. In our research, we reviewed the hypertension medical data from a tertiary-grade A class hospital in Beijing, and established a hypertension outcome prediction model with the machine learning theory. We first proposed a gain sequence forward tabu search feature selection (GSFTS-FS) method, which can search the optimal combination of medical variables that affect hypertension outcomes. Based on this, the XGBoost algorithm established a prediction model because of its good stability. We verified the proposed method by comparing other commonly used models in similar works. The proposed GSFTS-FS improved the performance by about 10%. The proposed prediction method has the best performance and its AUC value, accuracy, F1 value, and recall of 10-fold cross-validation were 0.96. 0.95, 0.88, and 0.82, respectively. It also performed well on test datasets with 0.92, 0.94, 0.87, and 0.80 for AUC, accuracy, F1, and recall, respectively. Therefore, the XGBoost with GSFTS-FS can accurately and effectively predict the occurrence of outcomes for patients with hypertension, and can provide guidance for doctors in clinical diagnoses and medical decision-making.

Complications caused by hypertension include heart failure, stroke, arteriosclerosis, etc. The prediction of hypertension complications is a hot issue, and it is difficult to predict it from a medical perspective. In this study, we aim to establish a prediction model of hypertension complications based on machine learning and data mining. We first proposed a GBDT-based feature selection method, which can screen out medical indicators that affect the hypertension complications. On this basis, we established a hypertension complications prediction model based on LightGBM. The results show that after 10-fold cross-validation and comparison analysis, the accuracy, F1 and AUC of the prediction model are 0.9189, 0.8888, and 0.9233 respectively, which are significantly better than other machine learning models. Therefore, the proposed method can accurately predict hypertension complications, so as to provide effective clinical auxiliary diagnosis for doctors and help them take preventive measures to reduce the impact of hypertension complications.

Ventilatory pump failure is a common cause of death for patients with neuromuscular diseases. The vital capacity plateau value (VCPLAT) is an important indicator to judge the status of ventilatory pump failure for patients with congenital myopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. Due to the complex relationship between VCPLAT and the patient’s own condition, it is difficult to predict the VCPLAT for pediatric disease from a medical perspective. We established a VCPLAT prediction model based on data mining and machine learning. We first performed the correlation analysis and recursive feature elimination with cross-validation (RFECV) to provide high-quality feature combinations. Based on this, the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) algorithm was to establish a prediction model with powerful performance. Finally, we verified the validity and superiority of the proposed method via comparison with other prediction models in similar works. After 10-fold cross-validation, the proposed prediction method had the best performance and its explained variance score (EVS), mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), median absolute error (MedAE) and R2 were 0.949, 0.028, 0.002, 0.045, 0.015 and 0.948, respectively. It also performed well on test datasets. Therefore, it can accurately and effectively predict the VCPLAT, thereby determining the severity of the condition to provide auxiliary decision-making for doctors in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Smart transportation is an important part of smart urban areas, and travel characteristics analysis and traffic prediction modeling are the two key technical measures of building smart transportation systems. Although online car-hailing has developed rapidly and has a large number of users, most of the studies on travel characteristics do not focus on online car-hailing, but instead on taxis, buses, metros, and other traditional means of transportation. The traditional univariate variable hybrid time series traffic prediction model based on the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) ignores other explanatory variables. To fill the research gap on online car-hailing travel characteristics analysis and overcome the shortcomings of the univariate variable hybrid time series traffic prediction model based on ARIMA, based on online car-hailing operational data sets, we analyzed the online car-hailing travel characteristics from multiple dimensions, such as district, time, traffic jams, weather, air quality, and temperature. A traffic prediction method suitable for multivariate variables hybrid time series modeling is proposed in this paper, which uses the maximal information coefficient (MIC) to perform feature selection, and fuses autoregressive integrated moving average with explanatory variable (ARIMAX) and long short-term memory (LSTM) for data regression. The effectiveness of the proposed multivariate variables hybrid time series traffic prediction model was verified on the online car-hailing operational data sets.

The development of urban rail transit is of great significance to the sustainable development of cities. However, the formulation of public norms of the urban rail transit train operation scheme lacks the corresponding theoretical support, rationality and scientificity. Therefore, based on the research on passenger flow conditions, this paper establishes an optimization model of express train operation and uses a heuristic genetic algorithm to solve it. In addition, this paper takes the Beijing Changping Line as an example to conduct empirical research. Results show that the optimization model established reduces the operation cost of operating enterprises, improves the capacity of urban rail transit, reduces travel time and maintains the full load rate of trains at a more comfortable level. This will improve the attractiveness of urban rail transit and promote benign interaction between operators and passengers. It will also provide a theoretical basis for formulating public norms of transit train operation, make it more scientific and reasonable and promote the development of urban rail transit.
