A mixed-ensemble model for hospital readmission
作者：
Highlights：
• A mixed-ensemble model for hospital readmission is proposed.
• The mixed-ensemble model enables controlling the tradeoff between reasoning transparency and predictive accuracy.
• The mixed-ensemble model increases the classification accuracy for positive readmission instances.
• An optimization approach for the mixed-ensemble model is proposed.
• The mixed-ensemble model has been implemented for predicting all-cause hospital readmissions of CHF patients.
