It is a common database used for various studies. The -data will be cleaned and tided to contain various patient demographics, -and all available laboratory testing for each patient. The exact -structure of the cleaned data will be determined later. Once cleaned the -data will be split into a training and testing data set. The training -data will be used to develop various machine learning algorithms to -attempt to develop an algorithm that can perform better then the hard -coded rules in place today. The study will primarily focus on TSH reflex -testing as this is the most common reflex test used in most -laboratories. The hypothesis however is that this model could be used -for many different types of reflex testing in the lab. - -```{r} -#| include: false -source(here::here("ML","1-data-exploration.R")) -``` - -```{r} -#| label: tbl-data_summary -#| tbl-cap: Data Summary Table -#| echo: false - - -merged_summary_table - -``` +## Population and Data
