Printed Page chapter 6 ‘Machine learning and Analytics’
In chapter

Dear Andrew,
I am a PhD student in London, UK, studying the application of graph analytics to routinely collected EPR data (RWD). I have worked for the last 8 years at Great Ormond Street hospital one of the world’s leading paediatric hospitals as a data engineer extracting RWD for research.

I have just finished reading your book ‘Hands-On Healthcare Data’ which I thought was a hugely inciteful and really encapsulated a lot of my experiences over the last 8 years. Huge congratulations and I have recommended the book to all my team!

I have one question. I see graph analytics and the use of graphs for machine learning as two very distinct subjects. When it came to chapter 6 ‘Machine learning and Analytics’ you jump straight to graph embedding and graph neural networks and don’t really touch on the use of graph analysis directly. I was wondering why you made this decision?

A good systematic review is:
Brunson, J.C. and Laubenbacher, R.C., 2018. Applications of network analysis to routinely collected health care data: a systematic review. Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 25(2), pp.210-221.

Best wishes,
John
