摘要:
In recent years, a rapid rise in the incidence of Large for gestational age (LGA) neonate is reported, and health care professionals employed themselves to discover the cause. Utmost of the previous studies were cohort or observational studies that employed simple linear or multivariate regression models, and very few of them employed machine learning (ML) schemes. Therefore, this research proposes to use 1 expert-driven and 7 automated feature selection schemes with well-known ML classifiers using 10 and 30 folds cross-validation. The induced results were compared with existing baselines, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Friedman test were also introduced to verify the results. The ranked 20 features of the proposed expert-driven feature selection scheme outperformed amongst 7 automated feature selection schemes with a prediction precision, accuracy, and AUC scores of 0.94606, 0.84529, and 0.86492, respectively. Out of twenty features, eleven features were found similar to twenty ranked features of the automated feature selection schemes subsets. The classification results of the extracted features were utmost identical to the results of twenty features subset proposed by the expert-driven feature selection scheme. Therefore, we suggest pediatricians to refresh LGA diagnosis process with the proposed scheme because of its practical usage and maximum expert involvement.
