A Study of Domain Adaptation Classifiers Derived From Logistic Regression for the Task of Splice Site Prediction

Abstract

Supervised classifiers are highly dependent on abundant labeled training data. Alternatives for addressing the lack of labeled data include: labeling data (but this is costly and time consuming); training classifiers with abundant data from another domain (however, the classification accuracy usually decreases as the distance between domains increases); or complementing the limited labeled data with abundant unlabeled data from the same domain and learning semi-supervised classifiers (but the unlabeled data can mislead the classifier). A better alternative is to use both the abundant labeled data from a source domain, the limited labeled data and optionally the unlabeled data from the target domain to train classifiers in a domain adaptation setting. We propose two such classifiers, based on logistic regression, and evaluate them for the task of splice site prediction – a difficult and essential step in gene prediction. Our classifiers achieved high accuracy, with highest areas under the precision-recall curve between 50.83% and 82.61%.

Logistic regression-based device-free localization in changeable environments

“…To our knowledge, the logistic regression classifier [15]- [17] has not been used for fingerprint-based DFL. Firstly, we should compute the regression coefficients of training data in every position, which is shown in Fig.…”

A Cluster-Based Boosting Algorithm for Bankruptcy Prediction in a Highly Imbalanced Dataset

“…Class imbalance problems have been encountered in a wide variety of domains. Protein detection [22] as well as disease diagnosis [23] are the most popular issues related to this problem in the chemical and biomedical fields. For the business management domain, bankruptcy forecasting [24][25][26], a model to predict enterprises that will crash in the near future, and fraud detection [21] are the two most attractive topics.…”
