Applying Conformal Prediction to the Bovine TB Diagnosing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conformal prediction is a recently developed flexible method which allows making valid predictions based on almost any underlying classification or regression algorithm. In this paper, conformal prediction technique is applied to the problem of diagnosing Bovine Tuberculosis. Specifically, we apply Nearest-Neighbours Conformal Predictor to the VETNET database in an attempt to allow the increase of the positive prediction rate of the existing Skin Test. Conformal prediction framework allows us to do so while controlling the risk of misclassifying true positives.

Background and Aim: Diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis is difficult because of its non-specific clinical presentations which may be confused with other disorders of central nervous system. The initiation of anti-TB medication can often be delayed because of lack of available laboratory tests. This study was aimed at evaluating the adenosine deaminase (ADA) concentration in differentiating tube...
متن کاملApplying Mondrian Cross-Conformal Prediction To Estimate Prediction Confidence on Large Imbalanced Bioactivity Data Sets.
Conformal prediction has been proposed as a more rigorous way to define prediction confidence compared to other application domain concepts that have earlier been used for QSAR modeling. One main advantage of such a method is that it provides a prediction region potentially with multiple predicted labels, which contrasts to the single valued (regression) or single label (classification) output ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and this infection is a major public health challenge. TB control is largely dependent on the early diagnosis and managements of suspected cases. Today, for laboratory diagnosis of TB infection, several bacteriological and immunological methods such as sputum smear microscopy, sputum culture and tuberculin skin test ar...

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an important infectious disease with high mortality in the world. None of the countries stay safe from TB. Nowadays, different factors such as Co-morbidities, increase TB incidence. World Health Organization (WHO) last report about Iran's TB status shows rising trend of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and HIV/TB. More than 95% illness and death of TB c...
