“…There is no single machine learning-based algorithm that is suitable for all types of biophysical properties data. Most of the current machine learning algorithms are applied to cells or biomarker imaging in glioma diagnosis. − For example, the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) is appropriate for a small number of parameters on uniformed cells or preselected cell groups with single or multiple biophysical sensing techniques. , The simple principal component analysis (PCA) or linear discriminant analysis (LDA) has been applied to specific types of data analysis, such as Raman spectroscopy on tumor cells. − The support vector machine (SVM), Lasso, ENet, or nonnegative garrote on kernel machine (NGK) are suitable for multiple dimensional biophysical properties analysis, such as biomechanical, bioelectrical, biochemical, and bio-optical sensing data. ,,, Here, we demonstrated the ENet and Lasso methods on biomechanical data of different grades of glioma cells with over 80% prediction accuracy. Lasso and ENet have been developed when p ≪ n cases and used in various cancer studies. , Although our sample size is relatively small for biological findings, the number of variables is still smaller than the sample size, that is, p < n in our study.…”
