Quantitative Forecasting of Malaria Parasite Using Machine Learning Models: MLR, ANN, ANFIS and Random Forest

Malaria continues to be a major barrier to socioeconomic development in Africa, where its death rate is over 90%. The predictive power of many machine learning models-such as multi-linear regression (MLR), artificial neural networks (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFISs) and Random Forest classifier-is investigated in this study using data from 2207 patients. The dataset was reduced from the initial dataset of thirty-two criteria samples to fifteen. Assessment measures such as the root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), coefficient of determination (R2), and adjusted correlation coefficient R were used. ANFIS, Random Forest, MLR, and ANN are among the models. After training, ANN outperforms ANFIS (97%), MLR (92%), and Random Forest (68%) with the greatest R (99%) and R2 (99%), respectively. The testing stage confirms the superiority of ANN. The paper also presents a statistical forecasting sheet with few errors and excellent accuracy for MLR models. When the models are assessed with Random Forest, the latter shows the least results, thus broadening the modeling techniques and offering significant insights into the prediction of malaria and healthcare decision making. The outcomes of using machine learning models for precise and efficient illness prediction add to an expanding body of knowledge, assisting healthcare systems in making better decisions and allocating resources more effectively.

Feasibility of the Optimal Design of AI-Based Models Integrated with Ensemble Machine Learning Paradigms for Modeling the Yields of Light Olefins in Crude-to-Chemical Conversions

The prediction of the yields of light olefins in the direct conversion of crude oil to chemicals requires the development of a robust model that represents the crude-to-chemical conversion processes. This study utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to develop single and ensemble learning models that predict the yields of ethylene and propylene. Four single-model AI techniques and four ensemble paradigms were developed using experimental data derived from the catalytic cracking experiments of various crude oil fractions in the advanced catalyst evaluation reactor unit. The temperature, feed type, feed conversion, total gas, dry gas, and coke were used as independent variables. Correlation matrix analyses were conducted to filter the input combinations into three different classes (M1, M2, and M3) based on the relationship between dependent and independent variables, and three performance metrics comprising the coefficient of determination (R2), Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), and mean square error (MSE) were used to evaluate the prediction performance of the developed models in both calibration and validations stages. All four single models have very low R2 and PCC values (as low as 0.07) and very high MSE values (up to 4.92 wt %) for M1 and M2 in both calibration and validation phases. However, the ensemble ML models show R2 and PCC values of 0.99-1 and an MSE value of 0.01 wt % for M1, M2, and M3 input combinations. Therefore, ensemble paradigms improve the performance accuracy of single models by up to 58 and 62% in the calibration and validation phases, respectively. The ensemble paradigms predict with high accuracy the yield of ethylene and propylene in the catalytic cracking of crude oil and its fractions.

Current trends in chromatographic prediction using artificial intelligence and machine learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) gained tremendous growth and are rapidly becoming popular in various fields of prediction due to their potential abilities, accuracy, and speed. Machine learning algorithms employ historical data to analyze or predict information using patterns or trends. AI and ML were most employed in chromatographic predictions and particularly attractive options for liquid chromatography method development, as they can help achieve desired results faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. This review aims at exploring various AI and ML models employed in the determination of chromatographic characteristics. This review also aims to provide deep insight into reported artificial neural network (ANN) associated techniques which maintained better accuracy and significant possibilities for chromatographic characteristics prediction in liquid chromatography over classical linear models and also emphasizes the integration of a fuzzy system with an ANN, as this integrated study provides more efficient and accurate methods in chromatographic prediction than other linear models. This study also focuses on the retention prediction of a target molecule employing QSRR methodology combined with an ANN, highlighting a more effective technique than the QSRR alone. This approach showed the benefits of combining AI or ML algorithms with the QSRR to obtain more accurate retention predictions, emphasizing the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning for overcoming adversities in analytical chemistry.

Novel Hybridized Computational Paradigms Integrated with Five Stand-Alone Algorithms for Clinical Prediction of HCV Status among Patients: A Data-Driven Technique

The emergence of health informatics opens new opportunities and doors for different disease diagnoses. The current work proposed the implementation of five different stand-alone techniques coupled with four different novel hybridized paradigms for the clinical prediction of hepatitis C status among patients, using both sociodemographic and clinical input variables. Both the visualized and quantitative performances of the stand-alone algorithms present the capability of the Gaussian process regression (GPR), Generalized neural network (GRNN), and Interactive linear regression (ILR) over the Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models. Hence, due to the lower performance of the stand-alone algorithms at a certain point, four different novel hybrid data intelligent algorithms were proposed, including: interactive linear regression-Gaussian process regression (ILR-GPR), interactive linear regression-generalized neural network (ILR-GRNN), interactive linear regression-Support Vector Regression (ILR-SVR), and interactive linear regression-adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ILR-ANFIS), to boost the prediction accuracy of the stand-alone techniques in the clinical prediction of hepatitis C among patients. Based on the quantitative prediction skills presented by the novel hybridized paradigms, the proposed techniques were able to enhance the performance efficiency of the single paradigms up to 44% and 45% in the calibration and validation phases, respectively.

Clinical Modelling of RVHF Using Pre-Operative Variables: A Direct and Inverse Feature Extraction Technique

Right ventricular heart failure (RVHF) mostly occurs due to the failure of the left-side of the heart. RVHF is a serious disease that leads to swelling of the abdomen, ankles, liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A total of 506 heart-failure subjects from the Faculty of Medicine, Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Ege University, Turkey, who suffered from a severe heart failure and are currently receiving support from a ventricular assistance device, were involved in the current study. Therefore, the current study explored the application of both the direct and inverse modelling approaches, based on the correlation analysis feature extraction performance of various pre-operative variables of the subjects, for the prediction of RVHF. The study equally employs both single and hybrid paradigms for the prediction of RVHF using different pre-operative variables. The visualized and quantitative performance of the direct and inverse modelling approach indicates the robust prediction performance of the hybrid paradigms over the single techniques in both the calibration and validation steps. Whereby, the quantitative performance of the hybrid techniques, based on the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (NC) metric, depicts its superiority over the single paradigms by up to 58.7%/75.5% and 80.3%/51% for the calibration/validation phases in the direct and inverse modelling approaches, respectively. Moreover, to the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first study to report the implementation of direct and inverse modelling on clinical data. The findings of the current study indicates the possibility of applying these novel hybridised paradigms for the prediction of RVHF using pre-operative variables.
