Genetic programming outperformed multivariable logistic regression in diagnosing pulmonary embolism.
OBJECTIVE Genetic programming is a search method that can be used to solve complex associations between large numbers of variables. It has been used, for example, for myoelectrical signal recognition, but its value for medical prediction as in diagnostic and prognostic settings, has not been documented. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING We compared genetic programming and the commonly used logistic re...
متن کاملExtreme Logistic Regression: A Large Scale Learning Algorithm with Application to Prostate Cancer Mortality Prediction
With the recent popularity of electronic medical records, enormous amount of medical data is being generated every day at an exponential rate. Machine learning methods have been shown in many studies to be capable of producing automatic medical diagnostic models such as automated prognostic models. However, many powerful machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM), Random F...
متن کاملModified Logistic Regression Models Using Gene Coexpression and Clinical Features to Predict Prostate Cancer Progression
Predicting disease progression is one of the most challenging problems in prostate cancer research. Adding gene expression data to prediction models that are based on clinical features has been proposed to improve accuracy. In the current study, we applied a logistic regression (LR) model combining clinical features and gene co-expression data to improve the accuracy of the prediction of prosta...
متن کاملcumulative logistic regression vs ordinary logistic regression
The common practice of collapsing inherently continuous or ordinal variables into two categories causes information loss that may potentially weaken power to detect effects of explanatory variables and result in Type II errors in statistical inference. The purpose of this investigation was to illustrate, using a substantive example, the potential increase in power gained from an ordinal instead...
متن کاملA general equation to obtain multiple cut-off scores on a test from multinomial logistic regression.
The authors derive a general equation to compute multiple cut-offs on a total test score in order to classify individuals into more than two ordinal categories. The equation is derived from the multinomial logistic regression (MLR) model, which is an extension of the binary logistic regression (BLR) model to accommodate polytomous outcome variables. From this analytical procedure, cut-off score...
