well, Alzheimer's has been highly correlated with diabetes (which diabetes is correlated with gum disease), so its hard to tell. If I were to guess, given if there is a correlation with gum disease and Alzheimer's, I would bet my

the libraries have grown nicely over the years, though I am surprised they still lack some basic stuff. why in 2019 is there no good way to visualize a decision tree? having to install, configure, and get working graphviz feels very hoaky.
