Extended application of Small-Sample Information Diffusion*

Abstract

In the previous research, medical survey data from a community in Shanghai, China were used to study the small sample data about hypertension and coronary heart disease from different dimensions using the General Limited Information Diffusion (GLID) method. Good results were obtained. In this paper, a foreign public database is selected to analyze the risk factors for the prevalence rates disease (PRD) of obesity from different dimensions. The GLID is also utilized to study the corresponding small sample, and good results are also obtained. The application of the information diffusion method is extended to different data cases to further validate its effectiveness and generality.
