Objective To present new classification methods of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) using machine learning and compare its performance with conventional statistical methods as classification techniques using machine learning have recently been developed.Methods A total of 84 KOA patients and 97 normal participants were recruited. KOA patients were clustered into three groups according to the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading system. All subjects completed gait trials under the same experimental conditions. Machine learning-based classification using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier was performed to classify KOA patients and the severity of KOA. Logistic regression analysis was also performed to compare the results in classifying KOA patients with machine learning method.Results In the classification between KOA patients and normal subjects, the accuracy of classification was higher in machine learning method than in logistic regression analysis. In the classification of KOA severity, accuracy was enhanced through the feature selection process in the machine learning method. The most significant gait feature for classification was flexion and extension of the knee in the swing phase in the machine learning method.Conclusion The machine learning method is thought to be a new approach to complement conventional logistic regression analysis in the classification of KOA patients. It can be clinically used for diagnosis and gait correction of KOA patients.

Abstract Background: Body mass index (BMI) is a good method for measure the overweight and obesity among people. The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning method to classification of BMI for clinical application.Methods: In this study we used the dataset of 1316 people who selected randomly from all area of Ardabil city. Dataset included demographic and anthropometric data. Classification algorithms such as Random forest (RF), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB), Decision Tree (DT), Support-Vector Machines (SVM), Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP), K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and Logistic Regression (LR) were used for classification of people based on BMI data. The performance of algorithms were evaluated with Precision, Recall, Mean Squared Errors (MSE) and Accuracy. All programing done in python.3.7 in Jupyter Notebook. Results: According to BMI, 603(45.8%) of all samples were normal and 713 (54.2%) were at-risk. The precision of RF, GNB, DT, SVM, MLP, KNN and LR for people at risk was 0.93, 0.86, 0.99, 0.82, 100, 0.82 and 0.99 respectively. Also, the accuracy of RF, GNB, DT, SVM, MLP, KNN and LR were 95%, 83%, 100%, 82%, 100%, 82% and 100 %. Conclusion: In compare classification algorithms results showed that, the LR , MLP and DT had the higher full accuracy than other algorithms in detection of people at-risk.

Machine learning approaches were introduced for better or comparable predictive ability than statistical analysis to predict postoperative outcomes. We sought to compare the performance of machine learning approaches with that of logistic regression analysis to predict acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. We retrospectively reviewed 2010 patients who underwent open heart surgery and thoracic aortic surgery. Baseline medical condition, intraoperative anesthesia, and surgery-related data were obtained. The primary outcome was postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The following machine learning techniques were used: decision tree, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, support vector machine, neural network classifier, and deep learning. The performance of these techniques was compared with that of logistic regression analysis regarding the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). During the first postoperative week, AKI occurred in 770 patients (38.3%). The best performance regarding AUC was achieved by the gradient boosting machine to predict the AKI of all stages (0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.75–0.80) or stage 2 or 3 AKI. The AUC of logistic regression analysis was 0.69 (95% CI 0.66–0.72). Decision tree, random forest, and support vector machine showed similar performance to logistic regression. In our comprehensive comparison of machine learning approaches with logistic regression analysis, gradient boosting technique showed the best performance with the highest AUC and lower error rate. We developed an Internet–based risk estimator which could be used for real-time processing of patient data to estimate the risk of AKI at the end of surgery.

Downscaling microwave remotely sensed soil moisture (SM) is an effective way to obtain spatial continuous SM with fine resolution for hydrological and agricultural applications on a regional scale. Downscaling factors and functions are two basic components of SM downscaling where the former is particularly important in the era of big data. Based on machine learning method, this study evaluated Land Surface Temperature (LST), Land surface Evaporative Efficiency (LEE), and geographical factors from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products for downscaling SMAP (Soil Moisture Active and Passive) SM products. This study spans from 2015 to the end of 2018 and locates in the central United States. Original SMAP SM and in-situ SM at sparse networks and core validation sites were used as reference. Experiment results indicated that (1) LEE presented comparative performance with LST as downscaling factors; (2) adding geographical factors can significantly improve the performance of SM downscaling; (3) integrating LST, LEE, and geographical factors got the best performance; (4) using Z-score normalization or hyperbolic-tangent normalization methods did not change the above conclusions, neither did using support vector regression nor feed forward neural network methods. This study demonstrates the possibility of LEE as an alternative of LST for downscaling SM when there is no available LST due to cloud contamination. It also provides experimental evidence for adding geographical factors in the downscaling process.

In this study, we propose an automated framework that combines diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics with machine learning algorithms to accurately classify control groups and groups with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the spinal cord. The comparison between selected voxel-based classification and mean value-based classification were performed. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier using a selected voxel-based dataset produced an accuracy of 95.73%, sensitivity of 93.41% and specificity of 98.64%. The efficacy of each index of diffusion for classification was also evaluated. Using the proposed approach, myelopathic areas in CSM are detected to provide an accurate reference to assist spine surgeons in surgical planning in complicated cases.

Abstract Dealing with electroencephalogram signals (EEG) are often not easy. The lack of predicability and complexity of such non-stationary, noisy and high dimensional signals is challenging. Cross Recurrence Plots (CRP) have been used extensively to deal with detecting subtle changes in signals even when the noise is embedded in the signal. In this contribution, a total of 121 children performed visual attention experiments and a proposed methodology using CRP and a Welch Power Spectral Distribution have been used to classify then between those who have ADHD and the control group. Additional tools were presented to determine to which extent the proposed methodology is able to classify accurately and avoid misclassifications, thus demonstrating that this methodology is feasible to classify EEG signals from subjects with ADHD. Lastly, the results were compared with a baseline machine learning method to prove experimentally that this methodology is consistent and the results repeatable.

The stability of the economic market is an important factor for the rapid development of the economy, especially for the listed companies, whose financial and economic stability affects the stability of the financial market. It is helpful for the healthy development of enterprises and financial markets to make an accurate early warning of the financial economy of listed enterprises. This paper briefly introduced the support vector machine (SVM) and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithms in the machine learning method. To make up for the defects of the two algorithms, they were combined and applied to the enterprise financial economics early warning. A simulation experiment was carried out on the single SVM algorithm-based, single BPNN algorithm-based, and SVM algorithm and BPNN algorithm combined model with the MATLAB software. The results show that the SVM algorithm and BP algorithm combined model converges faster and has higher precision and recall rate and larger area under the curve (AUC) than the single SVM algorithm-based model and the single BPNN algorithm-based model.
