The project aims to apply data mining in the VISTA clinical trails database at the Geriatric Medicine Research Unit. The data contains information about Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, some of whom received cholinergic treatment and some of whom did not receive this treatment. Because of the variability of responses to treatment as well as the variability in the course of disease progression, it is difficult to identify the patterns robustly associated with improvement, which is crucial in justifying the choice of treatment. The intern will identify such patterns by analyzing a large amount of qualitative data of video images and applying data mining techniques.
