Modelling attrition in the Eastern Cape public health system using multilevel survival analysis and machine learning methods by Perrie, Cailin

“…The findings and limitations of this investigation, however, open up opportunities for future work both as improvements to, or extensions of, the data preparation processes as well as model formulations and optimizations. Such follow-up work may include the exploration of different attrition definitions and the impact that has on the investigations findings, exploring methods for reducing HR healthcare data integrity issues, and provisioning or implementing re-sampling techniques, different cadre grouping strategies, or virtual machines to improve the performance of the machine learning models proposed.…”
