“…It has been extensively used for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) ( Naseer et al, 2019b ), hepatitis B virus (HBV) ( Tong et al, 2019 ; Ali et al, 2021 ; Saleem et al, 2020 ), malaria fever ( Naseer et al, 2019a ) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ( Lee et al, 2015 ), tuberculosis (TB) ( Stöckel et al, 2017 ) and DENV infections ( Mahmood et al, 2018 ). For the diagnosis of DENV infection, different multivariate algorithms are employed including principal component analysis (PCA) 20 partial least square regression (PLSR) ( Bilal et al, 2017 ), support vector machine (SVM) ( Khan et al, 2016 ) and random forest algorithms ( Khan et al, 2017 ).…”
