Leave One Out

We derive a mean-field algorithm for binary classification with gaussian processes that is based on the TAP approach originally proposed in statistical physics of disordered systems. The theory also yields an approximate leave-one-out estimator for the generalization error, which is computed with no extra computational cost. We show that from the TAP approach, it is possible to derive both a simpler “naive” mean-field theory and support vector machines (SVMs) as limiting cases. For both mean-field algorithms and support vector machines, simulation results for three small benchmark data sets are presented. They show that one may get state-of-the-art performance by using the leave-one-out estimator for model selection and the built-in leave-one-out estimators are extremely precise when compared to the exact leave-one-out estimate. The second result is taken as strong support for the internal consistency of the mean-field approach.

This article focuses on the problem of binary classification of 902 small- and medium‑sized engineering companies active in the EU, together with additional 51 companies which went bankrupt in 2014. For classification purposes, the basic statistical method of logistic regression has been selected, together with a representative of machine learning (support vector machines and classification trees method) to construct models for bankruptcy prediction. Different settings have been tested for each method. Furthermore, the models were estimated based on complete data and also using identified artificial factors. To evaluate the quality of prediction we observe not only the total accuracy with the type I and II errors but also the area under ROC curve criterion. The results clearly show that increasing distance to bankruptcy decreases the predictive ability of all models. The classification tree method leads us to rather simple models. The best classification results were achieved through logistic regression based on artificial factors. Moreover, this procedure provides good and stable results regardless of other settings. Artificial factors also seem to be a suitable variable for support vector machines models, but classification trees achieved better results using original data.

Analyse Data

Summary Classifying biological data is a common task in the biomedical context. Predicting the class of new, unknown information allows researchers to gain insight and make decisions based on the available data. Also, using classification methods often implies choosing the best parameters to obtain optimal class separation, and the number of parameters might be large in biological datasets.Support Vector Machines provide a well-established and powerful classification method to analyse data and find the minimal-risk separation between different classes. Finding that separation strongly depends on the available feature set and the tuning of hyper-parameters. Techniques for feature selection and SVM parameters optimization are known to improve classification accuracy, and its literature is extensive.In this paper we review the strategies that are used to improve the classification performance of SVMs and perform our own experimentation to study the influence of features and hyper-parameters in the optimization process, using several known kernels.
