Title:
METHOD FOR SELECTING MEDICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST USING NEURAL NETWORK-RELATED APPLICATION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3782792
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for developing medical diagnostic tests using decision-support systems such as neural networks.
SOLUTION: The method involves: providing a first set of candidate variables and a second set of selected important variables which initially is empty; taking the variables one at a time, and evaluating each variable by training the decision-support systems based on the variable combined with the current set of selected important variables; selecting the best variable among the candidate variables, where the best variable is the one that gives the highest performance of the decision-support systems; and when the best candidate variable improves performance in comparison to the performance of the selected important variables, adding it to the selected important variable set, removing it from the candidate set and continuing the evaluation process.
