Application of Improved LightGBM Model in Blood Glucose Prediction
Open accessAbstract
In recent years, with increasing social pressure and irregular schedules, many people have developed unhealthy eating habits, which has resulted in an increasing number of patients with diabetes, a disease that cannot be cured under the current medical conditions, and can only be mitigated by early detection and prevention. A lot of human and material resources are required for the detection of the blood glucose of a large number of people in medical examination, while the integrated learning model based on machine learning can quickly predict the blood glucose level and assist doctors in treatment. Therefore, an improved LightGBM model based on the Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization algorithm is proposed for the prediction of blood glucose, namely HY_LightGBM, which optimizes parameters using a Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization algorithm based on LightGBM. The Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization algorithm is a model-based method for finding the minimum value of the function so as to obtain the optimal parameters of the LightGBM model. Experiments have demonstrated that the parameters obtained by the Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization algorithm are superior to those obtained by a genetic algorithm and random search. The improved LightGBM model based on the Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization algorithm achieves a mean square error of 0.5961 in blood glucose prediction, with a higher accuracy than the XGBoost model and CatBoost model.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
