Benchmarking machine learning models for the analysis of genetic data using FRESA.CAD Binary Classification Benchmarking
AbstractBackgroundMachine learning models have proven to be useful tools for the analysis of genetic data. However, with the availability of a wide variety of such methods, model selection has become increasingly difficult, both from the human and computational perspective.ResultsWe present the R package FRESA.CAD Binary Classification Benchmarking that performs systematic comparisons between a collection of representative machine learning methods for solving binary classification problems on genetic datasets.ConclusionsFRESA.CAD Binary Benchmarking demonstrates to be a useful tool over a variety of binary classification problems comprising the analysis of genetic data showing both quantitative and qualitative advantages over similar packages.
