Abstract Motivation Deep neural network (DNN) algorithms were utilized in predicting various biomedical phenotypes recently, and demonstrated very good prediction performances without selecting features. This study proposed a hypothesis that the DNN models may be further improved by feature selection algorithms. Results A comprehensive comparative was carried out evaluating 11 on three conventional algorithms, i.e. convolution (CNN), deep belief (DBN) recurrent (RNN), recent DNNs,...

The neurological disorder epilepsy causes substantial problems to the patients with uncontrolled seizures or even sudden deaths. Accurate detection and prediction of epileptic will significantly improve life quality patients. Various feature extraction algorithms were proposed describe EEG signals in frequency time domains. Both invasive intracranial non-invasive scalp have been screened for seizure patterns. This study extracted a comprehensive list 24 types from found 170 out 2794 features...

Influenza virus continuously evolves to escape human adaptive immunity and generates seasonal epidemics. Therefore, influenza vaccine strains need be updated annually for the upcoming flu season ensure effectiveness. We develop a computational approach, beth-1, forecast evolution select representative vaccine. The method involves modelling site-wise mutation fitness. Informed by genome population sero-positivity, we calibrate transition time of mutations project fitness landscape future...

Aim: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous-cell carcinoma (LUSC) are two major subtypes of cancer constitute about 70% all the cases. The patient's lifespan living quality will be significantly improved if they diagnosed at an early stage adequately treated. Methods & results: This study comprehensively screened proteomic dataset both LUAD LUSC, proposed classification models for progression stages LUSC with accuracies 86.51 89.47%, respectively. Discussion conclusion: A comparative...

Aim: Breast cancer histologic grade (HG) is a well-established prognostic factor. This study aimed to select methylomic biomarkers predict breast HGs. Materials & methods: The proposed algorithm BioDog firstly used correlation bias reduction strategy eliminate redundant features. Then incremental feature selection was applied find the features with high HG prediction accuracy. sequential backward elimination employed further refine biomarkers. A comparison existing algorithms were conducted....

Aim: The two genders are different ranging from the molecular to phenotypic levels. But most studies did not use this important information. We hypothesize that integration of gender information may improve overall prediction accuracy. Materials & methods: A comprehensive comparative study was carried out test hypothesis. classification stages I + II versus III IV clear cell renal carcinoma samples formulated as an example. Results conclusion: In cases, female-specific model significantly...

Abstract Multi-population cohorts offer unprecedented opportunities for profiling disease risk in large samples, however, heterogeneous effects underlying complex traits across populations make integrative prediction challenging. In this study, we propose a novel Bayesian probability framework, the Prism Vote (PV), to construct predictions genetic data. The PV views trait of an individual as composite from subpopulations, which stratum-specific predictors can be formed data more homogeneous...
