The logistic regression (LR) and Multi-Layer (MLP) are used to handle regression analysis when the dependent response variable is categorical. Therefore, this study assesses the performance of LR and MLP in terms of classification of object/observations into identified component/groups. A data set consists of 553 cases of diabetes were collected at Federal Medical Center, . The variables measured: Age(years), Mass of a patient(kg/meters), glucose level (plasma glucose concentration, a 2-hour in an oral glucose tolerance test), pressure (Diastolic blood pressure ), insulin (2-hour serum insulin mu U/ml) and class variable (0 or 1) treating 0 as false or negative and 1 treated as true or positive test for diabetes. The method used in the study is Logistic regression analysis and the multi-Layer , a type of Artificial Neural Network, confusion matrix, classification, network algorithm and SPSS version 21 for Windows 10.1. The result of the study showed that LP classifies diabetic patients correctly with 91.8% accuracy. it classifies non-diabetic patients with 89.1% accuracy. MLP classifies diabetic patients with 88.6% accuracy while it classifies non-diabetic patients with 93.2% classification accuracy. Overall, MLP classifies better with 91% accuracy while LR classifies with 90.6% accuracy. This study complements other where MLP, a type Artificial neural network classifies and predicts better than other non-neural network classifiers.

Background: Clinical data play an important role in medical sector for binary outcome variables. Various methods can be applied to build predictive models for the clinical data with binary outcome variables.Objective: This research was aimed to explore and compare the process of constructing common predictive models.Methodology: Models based on an artificial neural network (the connectionist approach) and binary logistic regressions were compared in their ability to classifying malnourished subjects and those with over-weighted participants in rural areas of Bangladesh. Subjects were classified according to the indicator of nutritional status measured by body mass index (BMI). This study also investigated the effects of different factors on the BMI level of adults of six Villages in Bangladesh. Demographic, anthropometric and clinical data were collected based on aged over 30 years from six Villages in Bangladesh that were identified as mainly dependent on wells contaminated with arsenic.Result: A total of 460 participants were recruited for this study. Out of 460(140 male and 320 females) participants 186(40.44%) were identified as malnourished (BMK18.5 gm), and the remainder 274(59.56%) were found as over-weighted (BMI>18.5 gm). Among other factors, arsenic exposures were found as significant risk factors for low body mass index (BMI) with a higher value of odds ratio. This study shows that, binary logistic regression correctly classified 72.85% of cases with malnourished in the training datasets, 76.08% in the testing datasets and 75.26% of all subjects. The sensitivities of the neural network architecture for the training and testing datasets and for all subjects were 84.28%, 84.78% and 81 .72% respectively, indicate better performance than binary logistic regression model.Conclusion: This study demonstrates a significant performance of artificial neural network than the binary logistic regression models in classification of malnourished participants from over-weighted ones.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2014; 6(2):71-75

In this work, we are motivated by the desire to classify skin lesions as malignants or benigns from color photographic slides of the lesions. Thus, we use color images of skin lesions, image processing techniques and artificial neural network classifier to distinguish melanoma from benign pigmented lesions. As the first step of the data set analysis, a preprocessing sequence is implemented to remove noise and undesired structures from the color image. Second, an automated segmentation approach localizes suspicious lesion regions by region growing after a preliminary step based on fuzzy sets. Then, we rely on quantitative image analysis to measure a series of candidate attributes hoped to contain enough information to differentiate melanomas from benign lesions. At last, the selected features are supplied to an artificial neural network for classification of tumor lesion as malignant or benign. For a preliminary balanced training/testing set, our approach is able to obtain 79.1% of correct classification of malignant and benign lesions on real skin lesion images.

The Document classification system is the field of data mining in which the format of data is based on bag of words (BoW) or document vector model and the task is to build a machine which after successfully learn the characteristic of given data set, predicts the category of the document to which the word vector belongs. In this approach document is represented by BoW where every single word is used as feature which occurs in a document. The proposed article presents artificial neural network approach which is hybrid of n-fold cross validation and training-validation-test approach for classification of data.

Introduction: To predict the rate of prostate cancer detection on prostate biopsy more accurately, the performance of deep learning using a multilayer artificial neural network was investigated. Methods: A total of 334 patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging before ultrasonography guided transrectal 12-core prostate biopsy were enrolled in the analysis. Twenty-two non-selected variables, as well as selected ones by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression analysis and by stepwise logistic regression analysis, were input into the constructed multilayer artificial neural network (ANN) programs; 232 patients were used as training cases of ANN programs and the remaining 102 patients were for the test to output the probability of prostate cancer existence, accuracy of prostate cancer prediction, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with the learned model. Results: With any prostate cancer objective variable, Lasso and stepwise regression analyses selected 12 and nine explanatory variables, respectively, from 22. Using trained ANNs with multiple hidden layers, the accuracy of predicting any prostate cancer in test samples was about 5–10% higher compared to that with logistic regression analysis (LR). The area under the curves (AUC) with multilayer ANN were significantly larger on inputting variables that were selected by the stepwise LR compared with the AUC with LR. The ANN had a higher net benefit than LR between prostate cancer probability cutoff values of 0.38 and 0.6. Conclusions: ANN accurately predicted prostate cancer without biopsy marginally better than LR. However, for clinical application, ANN performance may still need improvement.

AbstractObjectivesTo predict the rate of prostate cancer detection on prostate biopsy more accurately, the performance of deep learning utilizing a multilayer artificial neural network was investigated.Materials and methodsA total of 334 patients who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging before ultrasonography-guided transrectal 12-core prostate biopsy were enrolled in the analysis. Twenty-two non-selected variables as well as selected ones by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression analysis and by stepwise logistic regression analysis were input into the constructed multilayer artificial neural network (ANN) programs. 232 patients were used as training cases of ANN programs, and the remaining 102 patients were for the test to output the probability of prostate cancer existence, accuracy of prostate cancer prediction, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with the learned model.ResultsWith any prostate cancer objective variable, Lasso and stepwise regression analyses selected 12 and 9 explanatory variables from 22, respectively. In common between them, age at biopsy, findings on digital rectal examination, findings in the peripheral zone on MRI diffusion-weighted imaging, and body mass index were positively influential variables, while numbers of previous prostatic biopsy and prostate volume were negatively influential. Using trained ANNs with multiple hidden layers, the accuracy of predicting any prostate cancer in test samples was about 5-10% higher compared with that with logistic regression analysis (LR). The AUCs with multilayer ANN were significantly larger on inputting variables that were selected by the stepwise logistic regression compared with the AUC with LR. The ANN had a higher net-benefit than LR between prostate cancer probability cut-off values of 0.38 and 0.6.ConclusionANN accurately predicted prostate cancer without biopsy marginally better than LR. However, for clinical application, ANN performance may still need improvement.

This work presents a generic passive non-contact based acoustic health monitoring approach using ultrasonic acoustic emissions (UAE) to facilitate classification of bearing health via neural networks. This generic approach is applied to classifying the operating condition of conventional ball bearings. The acoustic emission signals used in this study are in the ultrasonic range (20–120 kHz), which is significantly higher than the majority of the research in this area thus far. A direct benefit of working in this frequency range is the inherent directionality of microphones capable of measurement in this range, which becomes particularly useful when operating in environments with low signal-to-noise ratios that are common in the rail industry. Using the UAE power spectrum signature, it is possible to pose the health monitoring problem as a multi-class classification problem, and make use of a multi-layer artificial neural network (ANN) to classify the UAE signature. One major problem limiting the usefulness of ANN’s for failure classification is the need for large quantities of training data. This becomes a particularly important issue when considering applications involving higher value components such as the turbo mechanisms and traction motors on diesel locomotives. Artificial training data, based on the statistical properties of a significantly smaller experimental data set is created to train the artificial neural network. The combination of the artificial training methods and ultrasonic frequency range being used results in an approach generic enough to suggest that this particular method is applicable to a variety of systems and components where persistent UAE exist.

Abstract Infertility is recognized as a major problem of modern society. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is the one of many available treatment options to cure infertility. However, the efficiency of the ART treatment is still inadequate. Therefore, the procedure’s quality is constantly improving and there is a need to determine statistical predictors as well as contributing factors to the successful treatment. There is a concern over the application of adequate statistical analysis to clinical data: should classic statistical methods be used or would it be more appropriate to apply advanced data mining technologies? By comparing two statistical models, Multivariable Logistic Regression analysis and Artificial Neural Network it has been demonstrated that Multivariable Logistic Regression analysis is more suitable for theoretical interest but the Artificial Neural Network method is more useful in clinical prediction.

The main contribution of this paper is the development of an Integer Recurrent Artificial Neural Network (IRANN) for classification of feature vectors. The network consists both of threshold units or perceptrons and of counters, which are non-threshold units with binary input and integer output. Input and output of the network consists of vectors of natural numbers that may be used to represent feature vectors. For classification purposes, representatives of sets are stored by calculating a connection matrix such that all the elements in a training set are attracted to members of the same training set. The class of its attractor then classifies an arbitrary element if the attractor is a member of one of the original training sets. The network is successfully applied to the classification of sugar diabetes data, credit application data, and the iris data set.
