The outcomes of hypertension refer to the death or serious complications (such as myocardial infarction or stroke) that may occur in patients with hypertension. The outcomes of hypertension are very concerning for patients and doctors, and are ideally avoided. However, there is no satisfactory method for predicting the outcomes of hypertension. Therefore, this paper proposes a prediction method for outcomes based on physical examination indicators of hypertension patients. In this work, we divide the patients’ outcome prediction into two steps. The first step is to extract the key features from the patients’ many physical examination indicators. The second step is to use the key features extracted from the first step to predict the patients’ outcomes. To this end, we propose a model combining recursive feature elimination with a cross-validation method and classification algorithm. In the first step, we use the recursive feature elimination algorithm to rank the importance of all features, and then extract the optimal features subset using cross-validation. In the second step, we use four classification algorithms (support vector machine (SVM), C4.5 decision tree, random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)) to accurately predict patient outcomes by using their optimal features subset. The selected model prediction performance evaluation metrics are accuracy, F1 measure, and area under receiver operating characteristic curve. The 10-fold cross-validation shows that C4.5, RF, and XGBoost can achieve very good prediction results with a small number of features, and the classifier after recursive feature elimination with cross-validation feature selection has better prediction performance. Among the four classifiers, XGBoost has the best prediction performance, and its accuracy, F1, and area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values are 94.36%, 0.875, and 0.927, respectively, using the optimal features subset. This article’s prediction of hypertension outcomes contributes to the in-depth study of hypertension complications and has strong practical significance.

The paper proposes an anomaly detection method for UAVs based on wavelet decomposition and stacked denoising autoencoder. This method takes the negative impact of noisy data and the feature extraction capabilities of deep learning models into account. It aims to improve the accuracy of the proposed anomaly detection method with wavelet decomposition and stacked denoising autoencoder methods. Anomaly detection based on UAV flight data is an important method of UAV condition monitoring and potential abnormal state mining, which is an important means to reduce the risk of UAV flight accidents. However, the diversity of UAV mission scenarios leads to a complex and harsh environment, so the acquired data are affected by noise, which brings challenges to accurate anomaly detection based on UAV data. Firstly, we use wavelet decomposition to denoise the original data; then, we used the stacked denoising autoencoder to achieve feature extraction. Finally, the softmax classifier is used to realize the anomaly detection of UAV. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method still has good performance in the case of noisy data. Specifically, the Accuracy reaches 97.53%, the Precision is 97.50%, the Recall is 91.81%, and the F1-score is 94.57%. Furthermore, the proposed method outperforms the four comparison models with more outstanding performance. Therefore, it has significant potential in reducing UAV flight accidents and enhancing operational safety.

The paper aims to explore the performance of short-term traffic flow prediction of the 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology) Internet of Vehicles (IoV) based on edge computing (EC) for the smart city and to further improve the intelligence of the smart city. Aiming at the current emergency of traffic congestion and road congestion, the present work adds EC to the current vehicle network, and integrates a deep convolution random forest neural network (DCRFNN). Additionally, it implements a model for short-term traffic flow prediction of a 5G vehicle network based on EC and deep learning (DL), and analyzes its performance by simulation. The results reveal that the proposed algorithm has a lower average delay cost, and the average unloading utility is stable at approximately 70%. In the prediction performance analysis, the recognition accuracy of the proposed algorithm reaches 98.06%. It is at least 1.14% higher than that of the advanced convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm proposed by other scholars and achieves a faster convergence rate. Therefore, the constructed short-term traffic prediction model implemented has a high-quality prediction performance while also ensuring a better unloading performance. The results can provide an experimental basis for traffic flow prediction and intelligent development of the smart city.

The changes in people’s life rhythm and improvement in material levels that happened in recent years increased the number of people suffering from high blood pressure in the world. Therefore, as a cardiac complication of hypertension, the prevalence of hypertensive heart disease has increased annually, it has seriously endangered the safety of human life, and the effective prediction of hypertensive heart disease has become a worldwide problem. This paper uses the newly proposed XGBSVM hybrid model to predict whether hypertensive patients will develop hypertensive heart disease within three years. The final experiment proves that through this model, hypertensive patients can learn their risk of hypertensive heart disease within 3 years and then undergo targeted preventive treatment, thereby reducing the psychological, physiological and economic burden. This paper confirms that the machine learning can be successfully applied in the biomedical field, with strong real-world significance and research value.

Air quality issues are critical to daily life and public health. However, air quality data are characterized by complexity and nonlinearity due to multiple factors. Coupled with the exponentially growing data volume, this provides both opportunities and challenges for utilizing deep learning techniques to reveal complex relationships in massive knowledge from multiple sources for correct air quality prediction. This paper proposes a prediction hybrid framework for air quality integrated with W-BiLSTM(PSO)-GRU and XGBoost methods. Exploiting the potential of wavelet decomposition and PSO parameter optimization, the prediction accuracy, stability and robustness was improved. The results indicate that the R2 values of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, NO2, and O3 predictions exceeded 0.94, and the MAE and RMSE values were lower than 0.02 and 0.03, respectively. By integrating the state-of-the-art XGBoost algorithm, meteorological data from neighboring monitoring stations were taken into account to predict air quality trends, resulting in a wider range of forecasts. This strategic merger not only enhanced the prediction accuracy, but also effectively solved the problem of sudden interruption of monitoring. Rigorous analysis and careful experiments showed that the proposed method is effective and has high application value in air quality prediction, building a solid framework for informed decision-making and sustainable development policy formulation.

Water is the source of life, and in recent years, with the progress in technology, water quality data have shown explosive growth; how to use the massive amounts of data for water quality prediction services has become a new opportunity and challenge. In this paper, we use the surface water quality data of an area in Beijing collected and compiled by Zhongguancun International Medical Laboratory Certification Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). On this basis, we decompose the original water quality indicator data series into two series in terms of trend and fluctuation; for the characteristics of the decomposed series data, we use the traditional time series prediction method to model the trend term, introduce the deep learning method to interpret the fluctuation term, and fuse the final prediction results. Compared with other models, our proposed integrated Wavelet decomposition, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model, which is abbreviated as the W-ARIMA-GRU model, has better prediction accuracy, stability, and robustness for three conventional water quality indicators. At the same time, this paper uses the ensemble learning model LightGBM for the prediction of water quality evaluation level, and the accuracy and F1-score reached 97.5% and 97.8%, respectively, showing very strong performance. This paper establishes a set of effective water quality prediction frameworks that can be used for timely water quality prediction and to provide a theoretical model and scientific and reasonable analysis reference for the relevant departments for advanced control.
