OBJECTIVES: Automated classification of flow cytometry data has the potential to reduce errors and accelerate flow cytometry interpretation. We desired a machine learning approach that is accurate, is intuitively easy to understand, and highlights the cells that are most important in the algorithm's prediction for a given case.
