TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of disease health management system, in particular to a disease population old age category structure prediction method based on grey component prediction modeling. BACKGROUND

[0002] Old-age population disease prediction is an important research direction in the cross field of public health and health management, and the prediction results have important decision value for optimizing medical policy, improving resource allocation efficiency and developing intervention strategies. Old-age population disease prediction research is usually based on historical health data and predicts the prevalence rate of a specific disease in the old age population through various statistical and calculation models, mainly focusing on chronic diseases and acute diseases related to age.

[0003] Various models are used for old-age population disease prediction, mainly including statistical models, machine learning and system modeling, etc. Statistical methods such as exponential smoothing method; Cox regression model; Logistic regression analysis. Machine learning such as using SVM; Random forest prediction. System modeling methods such as using dynamic modeling technology; state transition model; dynamic Markov model. On the one hand, existing old-age disease prediction research mainly focuses on the overall prevalence rate of the old age population, however, with the aggravation of the old age population problem, more refined disease prevention and resource allocation are needed, and it is crucial to focus on the component dynamic analysis of the disease structure within the old age population. On the other hand, most of the existing methods are based on single sequence and other time interval assumptions, which are difficult to adapt to the characteristics of small sample, non-equidistant and component constraints commonly existing in refined survey data, resulting in the limitation of traditional time series model in practical application. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and to provide a disease population old age category structure prediction method based on grey component prediction modeling, which constructs a non-equidistant grey component prediction model to predict the structure of different old age categories in the disease population. On the one hand, the system research of grey component model is an important breakthrough for the expansion of grey system theory to more complex structure data, which not only helps to break the dependence of component data on ideal time interval and enhance the adaptability of the model to non-ideal data environment, but also provides theoretical support for the construction of prediction framework for structural data. On the other hand, this method is used for the evolution prediction of the structure of old age population with a certain disease under the background of population aging, which helps to identify the evolution trend, optimize resource allocation, and shows significant practical significance in health risk warning and precise management.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: a disease population old age category structure prediction method based on grey component prediction modeling, comprising:

[0006] S1, collect multi-component old population structure data affected by a certain type of disease, and analyze the characteristics of the component data;

[0007] S2, according to the data characteristics, build a modeling framework that integrates time elasticity mechanism and component structure analysis;

[0008] S3, based on the modeling framework, establish a non-equidistant gray dynamic component prediction model suitable for irregular time series component data, optimize the parameters and mine the implicit cumulative law, background value coefficient and nonlinear characteristics through parameter combination, and the expression contains the order, index, background value and fixed parameters to be solved and dynamic parameters;

[0009] S4, solve the parameters of the gray component prediction model based on logarithmic transformation, and perform anti-logarithmic transformation to estimate the structure evolution of each component old disease population, including: solving the fixed parameters of the model by least squares method, using particle swarm algorithm to globally optimize the dynamic parameters to minimize the global average relative simulation error, obtaining the cumulative sequence prediction value of each sequence based on the solved parameters and restoring it to the original sequence prediction value through cumulative reduction, and finally obtaining the simulation or prediction results of the original proportion sequence through anti-logarithmic transformation, connecting the prediction values at each discrete time to obtain the component evolution curve of different categories of old people in the disease population.

[0010] Further, in S1, multi-component old population structure data affected by a certain type of disease is collected, the data is derived from a database containing multiple surveys, and the survey time points form a non-equidistant time series; the old people with the disease are divided into four clear component categories according to whether they are disabled and the degree of disability, and after obtaining the original proportion sequence of the four categories, the core features of the sequence are identified and quantified, namely the time non-equidistance and the component structure constraint;

[0011] By calculating the actual interval length between consecutive time points in the sequence and analyzing the coefficient of variation of these interval lengths, the non-uniformity degree of the time series is numerically characterized; at the same time, the addition consistency verification is performed on all category proportion data at each time point; the change pattern of each component sequence with time is analyzed, the absolute change amount and direction of each component proportion between adjacent time points are calculated, and the heterogeneity of the evolution trend of the proportion of different disabled population categories is identified, that is, some categories show monotonic change while other categories show fluctuation or turning point.

[0012] Further, in S2, the original multi-component old population structure data collected is subjected to asymmetric logarithmic ratio transformation to convert the original proportion sequence into a modeling sequence, wherein the transformation process is realized by calculating the natural logarithm of the ratio of each component proportion to the reference component proportion, thereby eliminating the constant and constraint of the component data, and making the transformed sequence suitable for gray modeling;

[0013] The transformed component structure data is taken as a modeling sequence to construct a gray dynamic component prediction model, which can process irregular time intervals and integrate component structure analysis to capture the dynamic evolution characteristics of a multi-component system;

[0014] An asymmetric anti-logarithmic transformation is performed on the output simulation and prediction sequence to restore the sequence to the original proportion sequence, wherein the anti-transformation process is performed through exponential operation and normalization processing to ensure that the restored sequence satisfies the constraint condition that the sum of all component proportions is 1;

[0015] The average relative percentage error, the standard deviation of the relative percentage error, and the average absolute scaled error are taken as evaluation criteria to evaluate the prediction curve of the old age category structure in the disease population obtained by the gray component model, wherein the average relative percentage error is calculated as the average value of the absolute values of the relative errors at each time point, the standard deviation of the relative percentage error is calculated as a dispersion index of the relative errors, and the average absolute scaled error is calculated as the ratio of the prediction error to the average absolute value of the first-order difference of the sequence.

[0016] Further, in the S3, based on the modeling framework, the system structural characteristics reflected by the old age category component data in the disease population, and the characteristics that the data presents different change rules in different periods due to the interference of the system as a whole and each component, a non-equidistant gray dynamic component prediction model is constructed;

[0017] The gray dynamic component prediction model includes the optimized parameters, the index parameters, and the parameters of the background values of the generated sequence in the vicinity, and simultaneously includes the fixed parameters and the dynamic parameters to be solved.

[0018] In the specific model construction process, based on the non-uniformity of the time intervals of the non-equidistant sequence, a new sequence is defined as an accumulated generated sequence of the original sequence, wherein the accumulation order is dynamically determined through an intelligent optimization algorithm to capture the implicit accumulation law of the data; secondly, the coefficient of the background value of the gray dynamic component prediction model is adjusted through the index parameter to reflect the non-linear characteristics of the sequence, and the dynamic parameter is used to represent the uncertainty of the evolution over time;

[0019] The gray dynamic component prediction model integrates the fixed parameters to describe the basic trend of the system, and the dynamic parameters to adapt to the variability of the component structure, and through parameter combination optimization, the model mines the accumulation law size, the background value coefficient size, and the non-linear characteristics hidden in the non-equidistant component data, thereby forming a gray prediction model structure that adapts to irregular time series component data.

[0020] Further, the intelligent optimization algorithm mines the accumulation law size, the background value coefficient size, and the non-linear characteristics to construct a non-equidistant gray component prediction model, and the formula expression is:

[0021] ;

[0022] wherein, , is the number of components, is the number of points contained in each sequence, represents a certain time point corresponding to the sequence; is the order of the operator applied to the original sequence, used to characterize the strength of the grey operator in generating time, which is defined as a real number, i.e. , is the index, is the background value of the sequence generated immediately before, which is a dynamic parameter to be solved; is a fixed parameter to be solved, wherein is called the development coefficient, whose size and sign reflect the development trend of the original sequence, represents the grey action amount, whose size is related to the time point ; the parameter is a random disturbance term, used to represent information with accidental or weak factors; and is a new sequence, satisfies the formula:

[0023] ;

[0024] represents the interval between the time point and the time point , , and have the same meaning, wherein is the summation index, used to represent each historical data point from time 1 to time .

[0025] Further, in the S4, based on the non-equidistant grey dynamic component prediction model, the fixed parameter estimation matrix in the model is solved by using the least square method, and the solving process is realized by constructing a matrix operation containing non-equidistant time intervals;

[0026] Then, the particle swarm algorithm is used to globally combine and optimize the dynamic parameters in the grey dynamic component prediction model, and the optimization process takes the minimization of the global average relative simulation error as the objective function, and determines the optimal parameter combination through iterative optimization;

[0027] After obtaining the fixed parameters and the dynamic parameters, they are substituted into the grey dynamic component prediction model, and the accumulated sequence prediction values of each sequence at the prediction time are calculated;

[0028] Next, the cumulative subtraction operator is used as the recursive formula to restore the cumulative sequence prediction value to the original sequence prediction value. This restoration process is achieved through successive difference operations.

[0029] Furthermore, an asymmetric anti-logarithmic transformation is performed on the original sequence prediction values ​​obtained by cumulative subtraction to convert the modeled sequence back to the original proportion sequence. This transformation process ensures that the sum of the proportions of each component meets the unit constraint through exponential operation and normalization.

[0030] By connecting the predicted values ​​at discrete time points, component evolution curves of different elderly categories in the disease population are formed. The accuracy of the prediction results is quantitatively evaluated using mean relative percentage error, standard deviation of relative percentage error, and mean absolute scaling error as evaluation indicators. The mean relative percentage error reflects the average accuracy of the prediction, the standard deviation of relative percentage error characterizes the stability of the prediction, and the mean absolute scaling error characterizes whether the model prediction is better than the basic variation level of the sequence itself by comparing the error with the random walk benchmark.

[0031] This invention provides a method for predicting the category structure of elderly people in disease populations based on gray component prediction modeling, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. This invention introduces a time elasticity mechanism to construct a non-equidistant gray component modeling framework and a novel gray component prediction model, breaking through the dependence of component data on equidistant data, enabling high-precision modeling of structured data, and effectively addressing the problem of modeling component data with inconsistent time intervals in actual observations.

[0033] 2.

[0034] 3. This invention solves the problem of difficulty in making high-precision dynamic predictions of the disability structure within the elderly population under conditions of sparse and irregular data by solving parameters based on a gray component prediction model and estimating the structural evolution of each component. This improves the ability of health management departments to grasp the changing trends of the disease burden of the elderly population. Attached Figure Description

The method for predicting the category structure of elderly people in a disease population based on grey component prediction modeling according to claim 1, characterized in that: In S4, based on the gray dynamic component prediction model with non-equal intervals, the least squares method is used to solve the fixed parameter estimation matrix in the model. This solution process is achieved by constructing a matrix operation that includes non-equal interval time intervals. Subsequently, the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to perform global combination optimization of the dynamic parameters in the gray dynamic component prediction model. The optimization process takes minimizing the global average relative simulation error as the objective function and determines the optimal parameter combination through iterative optimization. After obtaining the fixed and dynamic parameters, they are substituted into the gray dynamic component prediction model to calculate the cumulative sequence prediction value of each sequence at the prediction time. Next, the cumulative subtraction operator is used as the recursive formula to restore the cumulative sequence prediction value to the original sequence prediction value. This restoration process is achieved through successive difference operations.

5. The method for predicting the elderly category structure in a disease population based on grey component prediction modeling according to claim 4, characterized in that: An asymmetric anti-logarithmic transformation is performed on the original sequence prediction values ​​obtained by cumulative subtraction to convert the modeled sequence back to the original proportion sequence. This transformation process ensures that the sum of the proportions of each component meets the unit constraint through exponential operation and normalization. By connecting the predicted values ​​at discrete time points, component evolution curves of different elderly categories in the disease population are formed. The accuracy of the prediction results is quantitatively evaluated using mean relative percentage error, standard deviation of relative percentage error, and mean absolute scaling error as evaluation indicators. The mean relative percentage error reflects the average accuracy of the prediction, the standard deviation of relative percentage error characterizes the stability of the prediction, and the mean absolute scaling error characterizes whether the model prediction is better than the basic variation level of the sequence itself by comparing the error with the random walk benchmark.
