Data Mining and Endocrine Diseases: A New Way to Classify?
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Data mining consists of using large database analysis to detect patterns, relationships and

cluster analyses. Recently this approach has been used to propose a new diabetes mellitus
classification, using information analysis techniques through which the selection bias
minimally influences categorization, this new focus that includes data mining previously
implemented ...
