Abstract

BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) methodology development for the classification of immune states in adaptive immune receptor repertoires (AIRRs) has seen a recent surge of interest. However, so far, there does not exist a systematic evaluation of scenarios where classical ML methods (such as penalized logistic regression) already perform adequately for AIRR classification. This hinders investigative reorientation to those scenarios where method development of more sophisticated ML approaches may be required.
