Abstract
Chronic diseases greatly influence the patients' life and incur the bulk of healthcare costs. Medical treatments should be personalized to consider individual variance. In this study, we take a first step toward personalized treatment of chronic kidney disease by formulating two prediction problems. We utilize random forest to learn the prediction models, and the preliminary results look promising.
