Machine learning versus logistic regression methods for 2-year mortality prognostication in a small, heterogeneous glioma database

Abstract: BackgroundMachine learning (ML) is the application of specialized algorithms to datasets for trend delineation, categorization or prediction. ML techniques have been traditionally applied to large, highly-dimensional databases. Gliomas are a heterogeneous group of primary brain tumors, traditionally graded using histopathological features. Recently the World Health Organization proposed a novel grading system for gliomas incorporating molecular characteristics. We aimed to study whether ML could achieve accura… Show more

“…Many concerns need to be answered by ML due to the catastrophic effects of tSCI and the numerous unresolved problems surrounding its management and prognosis [17]. Due to ML's relative novelty and the propensity to focus on a more well-known regression modality instead, there is currently a relatively little body of work on its use to predict outcomes in tSCI [18].…”

“…This gives the opportunity to define a model with predictors which can be used for new and similar data. Compared to statistical logistic regression models, this can be done without a priori assumption of relevant variables (25).…”
