[Tutor] Medical Decision-Making Question
Hello-- I'm a pre-med student interested in decision-making as applied to medical decisions. I am trying to build a medical decision-making algorithm and am pretty stuck on a few things. I've built a file that contains a list of many diseases and their associated symptoms. For example, here are the column headers and two sample rows (the "|" = "or"): DiseaseSymptoms Cold sore_throat|runny_nose|congestion|cough|aches|slight_fever Flu sore_throat|fever|headache|muscle_aches|soreness|congestion|cough|returning_fever My questions are the following: a) How's the best way to make it so I can have a user type in a list of symptoms and then have the computer tell the user the possible diseases that share those symptoms? In other words, on a high-level I have a pretty good idea of what I want my algorithm to do-- but I need help implementing the basic version first. I'd like to do the following: >>>Please enter a list of symptoms >>>[user_input] >>>Possible diseases include: x, y, z b)Once I get that working, could anyone point me to good code already written in Python such that I could have a model (for syntax and overall structure) for figuring out how to make the computer evaluate more factors such as: patient age, patient history, and even downloading archival data for patients in the same demographic group?

Re: [Tutor] Medical Decision-Making Question
Thanks guys for all the feedback. re Jim's comments: I completely agree that the difference b/t "slight" fever and "returning" fever, etc will pose some problems. My hunch is that initially I'll just do something like make "fever" be the only one for now w/ the obvious caveat that a few more diseases would not be eliminated than actually should be. Building on this, another challenging problem will be how to code the fact that when a symptom occurs early it usually means something else than if it returns later in the course of an illness. I'm not 100% sure how I'll handle this, but I think the first priority is getting access to a dataset and getting the bot up and running before I focus on this. re Steve's comments: hmm, sounds like I really should take an AI class. This problem is just really exciting and driving me, and I'm glad you pointed out that this will probably take a lot more time than I had predicted. I'm pretty motivated personally to solve it. I had a few more questions about your code: a) Why did you choose not to use a dictionary to store the diseases (keys) and their possible values (symptoms)? That seemed the most intuitive to me, like, what I want to do is have it such that we enter in a few symptoms and then all the keys without those symptoms are automatically eliminated. I've been off and on teaching myself python for the last 6 months and have experience in Java. I mean, I think I want a structure like this: 1) Main class -this class calls the diagnose_disease class based on the set of entered symptoms and demographic information (ie age, location, season (winter, spring, fall, etc), patient history) 2) Diagnose_disease class -this is the heart of the project. Based on the entered symptoms, it keeps narrowing down the list of possible diseases. Ideally it would ask follow-up questions of the user to even further narrow down the list of possible diseases, but that's going to have to wait until I get the rest working. 3) Dictionary Class -this class contains a *dictionary??* of all possible diseases and their associated symptoms. Assuming in a standardized form for now (such that "slight_fever" and "returning_fever" are simply coded as "fever" for now, etc). does this seem like the best way to go about it? re: James. I completely agree that my first step should be getting access to a dataset. I need to know the format, etc of it before I really can progress on this. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] quick data structures question
Hey guys, I want to write a short script that takes from an input excel file w/ a bunch of rows and columns. The two columns I'm interested in are "high gains" and "genes." I want the user to write: >>>Which genes are associated with gains over 20%? and then I want the script to search through the excel file, find in the "high gains" column when the number is greater than 20%, and then store the corresponding genes in that row (but in the "genes" column). I know this should be super simple, but I'm having trouble breaking the problem into smaller, manageable pieces. For instance, the "high gains" column does not have just integers, it is in the format %. Also, I'd like for the final script to be usable in R if possible, too. pseudocode is something like this: for line in lines: if item in "high gains" > 20 create new dictionary store genes from "genes" into new dictionary Much thanks in advance! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Mapping ID's for corresponding values in different Columns
Hi-- My current input looks like the following: FILE1.csv PERSON_IDPERSON_NAME 1 Jen 2 Mike 3 Jim 4 5 Jane 6 Joe 7 Jake FILE2.csv PERSON_ID PERSON_NAME Jim Mike Jane Todd Jen _ I want to fill into the PERSON_ID column of FILE2.csv the corresponding ID's associated with those names as identified in FILE1.csv. At first I imported the csv module and was using the csv.Reader, but then it seemed simple enough just to write something like: for line in file2: print(line) giving me the following output: PERSON_ID, PERSON_NAME , Jim , Mike , Jane , Todd , Jen I think I understand the issue at a conceptual level, but not quite sure how to fully implement it: a) I want to build a dictionary to create keys, such that each number in file1 corresponds to a unique string in column B of file1. b) then write a for loop like the following: for "person_name" in file2: if "person_name.file2" == "person_name.file1": person_id.file2 == person_id.file1 c) write into file2 the changes to person_id's... But it's pretty difficult for me to get past this stage. Am I on the right track? And more importantly, how could I learn how to actually implement this in smaller stages? Thanks so much. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Mapping ID's for corresponding values in different Columns (UPDATE)
I thought it made sense to read the two columns in File1 in as a dictionary
(where the key is actually the name, so that we can search on it later),
and the column of interest in File2 as a list. Finding the common values
then is just:
for item in file2_list:
for line in file1_dict:
if item == line:
print item
Creating a new dictionary and filling it in with the common values gives us
something like:
new_dict = {}
for item in file2_list:
for line in file1_dict:
if item == line:
new_dict[item] = line
I'm not quite sure where to go from here, though. I want:
a) to edit the new_dict such that we get the proper key and value
combination, instead of what it is now which is just the proper values.
b) Once we have the correct dictionary with the proper keys and their
values, how do I then output it into the form (???):
File2.csv
PERSON_IDPERSON_NAME
key1 Jim
key100 Mike
key3 Jane
key989 Todd
etc... etc...

Re: [Tutor] Mapping ID's for corresponding values in different Columns
Thank you guys so much. I'm quite close now, but I'm having a bit of
trouble on the final for-loop to create the new dictionary. I have the
following 3 functions (note I'm re-typing it from a different computer so
while the identation will be off here, it is correct in the actual code):
#read in file as dictionary. Name is key, id is value.
def csv_to_dict(filename):
record = {}
line = filename.readline()
for line in filename:
key = line.split(",", 1)[-1]
val = line.split(",", 1)[:-1]
return record
#read in file2 names
def nested_line(filename):
line = filename.readline()
new_list = []
for line in filename:
name = line.split(",", 1)[-1]
new_list.append(name)
return new_list
#this is the function that I'm having trouble with
#create new dict mapping file 1 ids to file2's names
def new_dict (csv_to_dict, nested_line):
old_dict = cssv_to_dict(file1)
old_list = nested_line(file2)
new_dict1 = {}
for item in old_list:
new_dict1[item] = item
return (new_dict1)
I have tried various permutations of the for loop in this final function,
but I haven't quite gotten it. The current form is the closest I have
gotten to my desired output, since it produces the new dictionary with the
name that I want-- just an invalid id associated with that name. I tried a
bunch of different nested loops but kept getting it incorrect and then
after so many attempts I got a little confused about what I was trying to
do. So I backed up a little bit and have this.
Conceptually, I thought that this would give me my desired result:
new_dict
for name in old_list:
for key, value in old_dict:
if name == key:
new_dict1[key] = value
return(new_dict1)
But it wasn't right. I tried a different approach where I used the
dict.values() function in order to pull out the values from old_dict that
we want to include in the new_dict, but I got a bit lost there, too.
I'm so close right now and I would be so thankful for any bit of
clarification which could get me to the finish line.

Re: [Tutor] Mapping ID's for corresponding values in different Columns
Got it! Thanks guys for all your help--what a satisfying feeling! Just out
of curiosity, in the following:
def new_dict (csv_to_dict, nested_line):
old_dict = csv_to_dict(file1)
old_list = nested_line(file2)
new_dict = {}
#for item in old_list:
#new_dict[item] = item
for k, v in old_dict.iteritems():
for item in old_list:
if k == item:
new_dict[item] = v
return (new_dict)
when I deleted the third line from the bottom (the "if k == item"), I got
the same value ("3") for each key, instead of the correct output (ie the
different ID's). Does anyone know why this was the case?
Thanks so much.

Sorry, just got that as well. It was the placement of the if-statement in

[Tutor] Accessing a Website
Hi--
My pseudocode is the following
new_dictionary = []
for name in file:
#1) log into university account
#2) go to website with data
#3) type in search box: name
#4) click search
#5) if name is exact match with name of one of the hits:
line.find("Code Number")
#6) remove the number directly after "Code Number: " and stop at the
next space
new_dictionary[name] = Code Number
With the exception of step 6, I'm not quite sure how to do this in Python.
Is it very complicated to write a script that logs onto a website that
requires a user name and password that I have, and then repeatedly enters
names and gets their associated id's that we want? I used to work at a
cancer lab where we decided we couldn't do this kind of thing to search
PubMed, and that a human would be more accurate even though our criteria
was simply (is there survival data?). I don't think that this has to be
the case here, but would greatly appreciate any guidance.
Thanks so much.

[Tutor] Rapidly Importing CSVs with Python into MySQL
Hi-- This question has to do with MySQL but is fundamentally a python question, so apologies if it seems tangential initially... I've written a long python file that creates all the tables in database UN. Here is the first few lines: import MySQLdb as mysql statement = """CREATE DATABASE UN""" db = mysql.connect(this stuff is correct) cursor = db.connect() cursor.execute(statement) sql = """CREATE TABLE UN.1( id VARCHAR(255), name VARCHAR(255), age INT )""" cursor.execute(sql) statement = """LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE...(this stuff is correct)""" db.commit() db.close() db = mysql.connect(this stuff is correct) cursor = db.connect() sql = """CREATE TABLE UN.2( id VARCHAR(255), fname VARCHAR(255), lname VARCHAR(255), age INT )""" cursor.execute(sql) statement = """LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE...(this stuff is correct)""" db.commit() db.close() UN.3, UN.4, UN.5...etc... I have a lot of tables here and I have a few questions: 1) When I run this Python file, only the first table is created. Why does the interpreter think that the statements are done at this point? I tried experimenting with taking out all the "db.close()" commands until the last one, but that didn't work, either. More importantly, how can I get it such that I can press run all and all these tables are built? I'm going to be re-building these (and other database's tables) pretty frequently, so it's pretty frustrating to have to copy and paste out of the .py file into the idle editor every single statement... 2) Is there a shortkey command to run line-by-line in a file using IDLE in Python 2.7? (Some languages have this capacity, but a Google search of python was not too promising about this feature...)
