LASSO Regression Modeling on Prediction of Medical Terms among Seafarers’ Health Documents Using Tidy Text Mining

open access: yesBioengineering, 2022
Generally, seafarers face a higher risk of illnesses and accidents than land workers. In most cases, there are no medical professionals on board seagoing vessels, which makes disease diagnosis even more difficult. When this occurs, onshore doctors may be
