Identification of a person is central in forensic science, security, and healthcare. Methods such as iris scanning genomic profiling are more accurate but expensive, time-consuming, difficult to implement. This study focuses on the relationship between fingerprint patterns ABO blood group biometric identification tool. A total 200 subjects were included study, types (loops, whorls, arches) groups compared. Associations evaluated with statistical tests, including chi-square Pearson correlation.The found that loops most common pattern O+ was prevalent. Discussion: Even though there some associative pattern, no statistically significant difference different groups. Overall, results indicate data do not significantly improve personal when used conjunction fingerprinting.Although shows weak correlation, it may emphasize efforts multi-modal based systems enhancing current systems. Future studies focus larger diverse samples, possibly machine learning additional biometrics methods. addresses an element ever-changing nature fields science identification, highlighting importance resilient analytical methods for identification.

This study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) models for classifying dental providers into two categories—standard rendering and safety net clinic (SNC) providers—using a 2018 dataset 24,300 instances with 20 features. The dataset, characterized by high missing values (38.1%), includes service counts (preventive, treatment, exams), delivery systems (FFS, managed care), beneficiary demographics. Feature ranking methods such as information gain, Gini index, ANOVA were employed to identify critical predictors, revealing treatment-related metrics (TXMT_USER_CNT, TXMT_SVC_CNT) top-ranked Twelve ML models, including k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest, Neural Networks, Boosting, evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. Classification accuracy was tested across incremental feature subsets derived from rankings. Network achieved highest (94.1%) all features, followed Boosting (93.2%) Forest (93.0%). Models showed improved performance more features incorporated, SGD ensemble demonstrating robustness data. highlighted dominance treatment annotation codes in distinguishing provider types, while demographic variables (AGE_GROUP, CALENDAR_YEAR) had minimal impact. underscores importance selection enhancing model efficiency accuracy, particularly imbalanced healthcare datasets. These findings advocate integrating feature-ranking techniques advanced algorithms optimize classification, enabling targeted resource allocation underserved populations.

Introduction: Personal identification is a critical aspect of forensic sciences, security, and healthcare. While conventional biometrics systems such as DNA profiling iris scanning offer high accuracy, they are time-consuming costly. Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between fingerprint patterns ABO blood group classification to explore potential correlations these two traits.Methods: The analyzed 200 individuals, categorizing their fingerprints into three types: loops, whorls, arches. Blood was also recorded. Statistical analysis, including chi-square Pearson correlation tests, used assess associations groups.Results: Loops were most common pattern, while O+ prevalent among participants. analysis revealed no significant groups (p > 0.05), suggesting that traits independent.Conclusions: Although showed limited groups, it highlights importance future research using larger more diverse populations, incorporating machine learning approaches, integrating multiple biometric signals. contributes science by emphasizing need for rigorous protocols comprehensive investigations in personal identification.
