Many computer models for predicting the risk of prostate cancer have been developed including for prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR). However, models for individual BCR free probability at individual time-points after a BCR free period are rare. Follow-up data from 1656 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) were used to develop an artificial neural network (ANN...

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performances of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and multivariable logistic regression (LR) analyses for differentiating between malignant and benign lung nodules on computed tomography (CT) scans. Methods: This study evaluated 135 malignant nodules and 65 benign nodules. For each nodule, morphologic features (size, margins, contour, internal characteristics)...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to develop the artificial neural network (ANN) and multivariable logistic regression (LR) analyses for prediction modeling of cardiovascular autonomic (CA) dysfunction in the general population, and compare the prediction models using the two approaches. METHODS AND MATERIALS We analyzed a previous dataset based on a Chinese population sample consisting of 2,092 in...

COVID-19 virus is certainly considered as one of the harmful viruses amongst all illnesses in biological science. symptoms are fever, cough, sore throat, and headache. The paper gave a singular function for prediction most diseases presented with Convolutional Neural Networks Logistic Regression which might be supervised learning gaining knowledge strategies detection. proposed system makes use...

background: unwanted pregnancy not intended by at least one of the parents has undesirable consequences for the family and the society. in the present study, three classification models were used and compared to predict unwanted pregnancies in an urban population.   methods : in this cross-sectional study, 887 pregnant mothers referring to health centers in khorramabad, iran, in 2012 were selec...

With the emergence of big data, there has been a growing interest in optimization routines that lead to faster convergence of Logistic Regression (LR). Among many optimization methods such as Gradient Descent, Quasi-Newton, Conjugate Gradient, etc., the Trust-region based truncated Newton method (TRON) algorithm has been shown to converge the fastest. The TRON algorithm also forms an important ...

The study aimed to examine the trend of under-five mortality rate in Nigeria from 2003 2018 and determinants using Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) data. data for was conducted 2003, 2008, 2013, 2018. These four surveys were used trends within period, while machine learning applied only dataset being latest Nigeria. partitioned into training testing sets. 30% randomly selected testing, 70% mode...

rain-water-harvesting is one of the means by which agricultural production can be increased to meet the growing food demands in all regions. the study indentified the factor affecting rain-water-harvesting technology adoption for irrigation and farmers practice in water harvesting against drought in lowland woreda, eastern hararghe, oromia region. both primary and secondary data were collected ...

Logistic regression is a widely used method in several fields. When applying logistic to imbalanced data, wherein the majority classes dominate minority classes, all class labels are estimated as “majority class.” In this study, we use an F-measure optimization improve performance of applied data. Although many methods adopt ratio estimators approximate F-measure, tends exhibit more bias than w...
