Variable Selection for Nonparametric Learning with Power Series Kernels.

Neural computation
In this letter, we propose a variable selection method for general nonparametric kernel-based estimation. The proposed method consists of two-stage estimation: (1) construct a consistent estimator of the target function, and (2) approximate the estim...

Neural network and support vector machine for the prediction of chronic kidney disease: A comparative study.

Computers in biology and medicine
This paper aims to assist in the prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by utilizing machine learning techniques to diagnose CKD at an early stage. Kidney diseases are disorders that disrupt the normal function of the kidney. As the percentage of...

Comparison and development of machine learning tools in the prediction of chronic kidney disease progression.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Urinary protein quantification is critical for assessing the severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the current procedure for determining the severity of CKD is completed through evaluating 24-h urinary protein, which is incon...

Identifying progressive CKD from healthy population using Bayesian network and artificial intelligence: A worksite-based cohort study.

Scientific reports
Identifying progressive early chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients at a health checkup is a good opportunity to improve their prognosis. However, it is difficult to identify them using common health tests. This worksite-based cohort study for 7 year...

Circulating Levels of Soluble Klotho and Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 in Diabetic Patients and Its Association with Early Nephropathy.

Archives of medical research
INTRODUCTION: Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In diabetes, changes in serum levels of both soluble alpha Klotho (sKL) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) have been associated with CKD progression.

The Role of GDF-15 in Heart Failure Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a stress-inducible cytokine and member of the transforming growth factor-β cytokine superfamily that refines prognostic assessment in subgroups of patients with heart failure (HF). We evaluated...

Influence of Pre-renal Transplant Secondary Hyperparathyroidism on Later Evolution After Transplantation.

Transplantation proceedings
Persistence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is common after renal transplantation. Good diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid complications. The objective of our work was to perform a retrospective analysis of the evolution of SHPT a...

Chronic Kidney Disease stratification using office visit records: Handling data imbalance via hierarchical meta-classification.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of several conditions that affect a growing percentage of the US population; the disease is accompanied by multiple co-morbidities, and is hard to diagnose in-and-of itself. In its advanced forms it car...
