Adaptive modelling approach for predicting causes of death: insights from verbal autopsy data in Tanzania
The reported performance of the developed model demonstrates the potential for this model to enhance VA-based CoD data by integrating a machine learning approach with physician expertise. The results highlight the effectiveness of combining Bayesian networks with physician Symptom Cause Information as a valuable tool in advancing the performance of CoD predictions.
