Abstract
This research presents a predictive model aimed at estimating the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) based on clinical features collected from a dataset of 50 patients. Important features included evaluations of speech, mobility, and respiratory function. We utilized an XGBoost regression model to forecast scores on the ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R), achieving a training mean squared error (MSE) of 0.1651 and a testing MSE of 0.0073, with R² values of 0.9800 for training and 0.9993 for testing. The model demonstrates high accuracy, providing a useful tool for clinicians to track disease progression and enhance patient management and treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
BioData Mining is an open access, open peer-reviewed journal encompassing research on all aspects of data mining applied to high-dimensional biological and biomedical data, focusing on computational aspects of knowledge discovery from large-scale genetic, transcriptomic, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data.
Topical areas include, but are not limited to:
-Development, evaluation, and application of novel data mining and machine learning algorithms.
-Adaptation, evaluation, and application of traditional data mining and machine learning algorithms.
-Open-source software for the application of data mining and machine learning algorithms.
-Design, development and integration of databases, software and web services for the storage, management, retrieval, and analysis of data from large scale studies.
-Pre-processing, post-processing, modeling, and interpretation of data mining and machine learning results for biological interpretation and knowledge discovery.
