Classification of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients via k-important Neighbors in High Dimensional Metabolomics Dataset
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by progressive loss of renal function, is becoming a growing problem in the general population. New analytical technologies such as “omics”-based approaches, including metabolomics, provide a useful platform for biomarker discovery and improvement of CKD management. In metabolomics studies, not only prediction accuracy is attractive, but also variable importance is critical because the identified biomarkers reveal pathogenic metabolic processes underlying the progression of chronic kidney disease. We aimed to use k-important neighbors (KIN), for the analysis of a high dimensional metabolomics dataset to classify patients into mild or advanced progression of CKD. Methods: Urine samples were collected from CKD patients (n=73). The patients were classified based on metabolite biomarkers into the two groups: mild CKD (glomerular filtration rate (GFR)> 60 mL/min per 1·73 m2) and advanced CKD (GFR<60 mL/min per 1·73 m2). Accordingly, 48 and 25 patients were in mild (class 1) and advanced (class 2) groups respectively. Recently, KIN was proposed as a novel approach to high dimensional binary classification settings. Through employing a hybrid dissimilarity measure in KIN, it is possible to incorporate information of variables and distances simultaneously. Results: The proposed KIN not only selected a few number of biomarkers, it also reached a higher accuracy compared to traditional k-nearest neighbors (61.2% versus 60.4%) and random forest (61.2% versus 58.5%) which are currently known as the best classifieres. Conclusion: Real metabolomics dataset demonstrate the superiority of proposed KIN versus KNN in terms of both classification accuracy and variable importance.

K Important Neighbors: A Novel Approach to Binary Classification in High Dimensional Data
K nearest neighbors (KNN) are known as one of the simplest nonparametric classifiers but in high dimensional setting accuracy of KNN are affected by nuisance features. In this study, we proposed the K important neighbors (KIN) as a novel approach for binary classification in high dimensional problems. To avoid the curse of dimensionality, we implemented smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD...

Background and Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) determined by permanent kidney damage. Due to the similarity of clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism with CKD, hypothyroidism may be neglected and remain untreated. The goal of our study was to evaluate the rate of hypothyroidism in CKD patients who need hemodialysis. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional research. The sampling ...
