It turned out that asthmatics who present with pneumonia are always admitted to Intensive Care. Because<br />
of this, there were no cases of any asthmatics dying in the training data. The model concluded<br />
that asthmatics were low risk, when the opposite was actually true. The model had great accuracy but if<br />
deployed in production it would certainly have killed people.<br />
Moral of the story: use a simple model you can understand [1]. Only then move onto something more<br />
complex, and only if you need to.<br />
