Celiac disease; is an autoimmune digestive system disease characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation and villus antrophy affecting genetically predisposed individuals. Diagnosis is based on serological tests and small bowel biopsy. Because of the diversity in the clinical features of the disease, various patient profile and the nonstandardized serological tests, it is difficult to diagnose the celiac disease. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values are important parameters for the accuracy of the tests and they are missing in some clinicial studies. It is difficult do standardize the tests with these missing values for clinicians. The aim of this study is to train different machine learning algorithms and to test their performance in prediction of the diagnostic accurary parameters of celiac serological tests. Decision trees are effective machine learning algorithms for predicting potential covariates with %88,7 accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
