Chronic Kidney Disease is a condition characterized by loss of function in the kidneys and cannot filter blood as well as they should. If the kidney disease worsens, excess fluid and waste from blood remain in the body and might cause other health problems such as heart disease and nerve damage. It is necessary to have effective methods for early prediction of chronic kidney disease.
Arnab Das in his blog proposed a solution to Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Prediction using Intel® Distribution of Modin*, Intel® Developer Cloud and Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn*.
Article Highlights:
The blog explains the various steps involved in the project:
- Installation of required libraries
- Data Collection & Preparation
- Model Training
- Model Testing

Intel Extension for Scikit-learn: This Intel Extension seamlessly speeds up your scikit-learn applications for Intel architectures across single and multi-node configurations. Also, this extension package dynamically patches scikit-learn estimators while improving performance for your machine learning algorithms. By using Scikit-learn with this extension, the performance for training and inference can be improved up to 100x with the equivalent mathematical accuracy.
Intel Distribution of Modin: Modin is a drop-in replacement for the extensively used Python library, Pandas. Intel Distribution of Modin is a performant, parallel, and distributed dataframe system that accelerates Pandas while using a fully compatible API. This adds optimizations to further accelerate processing on Intel® hardware.
