“…LR analyzes the relationship between multiple independent variables and a categorical dependent variable, and it can estimate the probability of occurrence of an event by fitting data to a logistic curve (Bian et al, 2019;Lee and He, 2019). The logistic function is helpful because it can take input with any values from negative to positive infinity, whereas the output always takes values between zero and one; hence, the model output is interpretable as a probability.…”

“…Domain knowledge can also help guide supervised machine learning. In a recent work [189], we examined whether the so-called focused factory theory (i.e., factories that concentrate on narrow range of services or operations produce better products at low costs) is applicable to hospital operations. Specifically, we examine whether the hospitals that are specialized in certain diseases achieve better results in terms of costs and patient outcomes using a large national healthcare cost and utilization project (HCUP) dataset.…”

“…Some of the existing papers, regarding government spending, are focused on the hospital performance metrics (Kumar et al, 2019;Chang et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2019) or regional statistics (Belton and Stewart, 2002;Edmonds et al, 2019;Kruger et al, 2019) which partially influenced our study. Most of the authors were focused on predicting mortality rates compared with government spending, improving healthcare benefits and patient treatment, inequality of services or other related concerns, using advanced statistic technics and neural networks.…”

“…The paper use new data sources and transforms the traditional approach focused on the hospital performance metrics (Kumar et al, 2019;Chang et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2019;Mikhaylov and Sokolinskaya, 2019;Mikhaylov, 2020) or regional statistics (Belton and Stewart, 2002;Edmonds et al, 2019;Kruger et al, 2019).…”
