Increasing the accuracy of the classification of diabetic patients in terms of functional limitation using linear and nonlinear combinations of biomarkers: Ramp AUC method
Abstract:   (2063 Views)

The Area under the ROC Curve (AUC) is a common index for evaluating the ability of the biomarkers for classification. In practice, a single biomarker has limited classification ability, so to improve the classification performance, we are interested in combining biomarkers linearly and nonlinearly. In this study, while introducing various types of loss functions, the Ramp AUC method and some of its features are introduced as a statistical model based on the AUC index. The aim of this method is to combine biomarkers in a linear or non-linear manner to improve the classification performance of the biomarkers and minimize the experimental loss function by using the Ramp AUC loss function. As an applicable example, in this study, the data of 378 diabetic patients referred to Ardabil and Tabriz Diabetes Centers in 1393-1394 have been used. RAUC method was fitted to classify diabetic patients in terms of functional limitation, based on the demographic and clinical biomarkers. Validation of the model was assessed using the training and test method. The results in the test dataset showed that the area under the RAUC curve for classification of the patients according to the functional limitation, based on the linear kernel pf biomarkers was 0.81 and with a kernel of the radial base function (RBF) was equal to 1.00. The results indicate a strong nonlinear pattern in the data so that the nonlinear combination of the biomarkers had higher classification performance than the linear combination.

Keywords: kernel function, loss function, Area under the ROC Curve, classification, functional limitation.
