| Sumario: | Human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered as one of the major causes of multiple cancers, including cervical, anal, and vaginal cancers. Some studies analyzed the infection patterns of cancers caused by HPV using individual clinical test data, which is resource and time expensive. In order to facilitate the understanding of cancers caused by HPV, we propose to use data analytics methods to reveal the influencing factors from the population-level statistics data, which is available more easily. Particularly, we demonstrate the effectiveness of data analytics approach by introducing a predictive analytics method in studying the risk factors of cervix cancer in the United States. Besides accurate prediction of the number of infections, the predictive analytics method discovers the population statistic factors that most affect the cervical cancer infection pattern. Furthermore, we discuss the potential directions in developing more advanced data analytics approaches in studying cancers caused by HPV. |
