Machine learning approaches for biomarker discovery to predict large-artery atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT: Large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) is a leading cause of cerebrovascular disease. However, LAA diagnosis is costly and needs professional identification. Many metabolites have been identified as biomarkers of specific traits. However, there are inconsistent findings regarding suitable biomarkers for the prediction of LAA. In this study, we propose a new method integrates multiple machine learning algorithms and feature selection method to handle multidimensional data. Among the six machine learning models, logistic regression (LR) model exhibited the best prediction performance. The value of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.92 when 62 features were incorporated in the external validation set for the LR model. In this model, LAA could be well predicted by c
