Risk assessment models of tic disorders with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder based on machine learning
To develop risk assessment models for tic disorders (TD) with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to screen for risk factors using machine learning.
Methods
2
The clinical
demographic
and family environmental information of 363 children with TD were investigated and collected as study data. The performance of five machine learning models of TD with comorbid ADHD based on logistic regression
Naive Bayes (NB)
Random Forest (RF)
K‑Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm
and Support Vector Machine (SVM) was compared using metrics such as accuracy
precision
recall/sensitivity
specificity
F1‑score
and area under the curve (
AUC
) of ROC. Feature importance was ranked using the RF algorithm
and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors.
Results
2
The NB model demonstrated the highest accuracy; the logistic regression model performed best in terms of F1‑score and recall/
sensitivity; the SVM model achieved the highest precision and specificity.The
AUC
values of the NB
RF
and logistic regression models were relatively large (0.896
