Abstract

BACKGROUND: The use of machine learning(ML) methods would improve the diagnosis of small airway dysfunction(SAD) in subjects with chronic respiratory symptoms and preserved pulmonary function(PPF). This paper evaluated the performance of several ML algorithms associated with the impulse oscillometry(IOS) analysis to aid in the diagnostic of respiratory changes in SAD. We also find out the best configuration for this task.
