Predictive models in precision medicine

Abstract The curiosity for why and how events occur, and what might have caused them necessitated calculation of prediction. Predictive models are the milestones of artificial intelligence. Predictive analysis not only encompasses predictive modeling, but also some other fields like data mining and machine learning. Predictive analysis is composed of the steps: data collection, data analysis, and statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and imaging outcomes. In this chapter, we aimed to define the predictive models and analysis with the advantages and disadvantages, and illustrate how it works for precision medicine on a model-based approach.
