Development of childhood asthma prediction models using machine learning approaches
Abstract Background Respiratory symptoms are common in early life and often transient. It is difficult to identify in which children these will persist and result in asthma. Machine learning (ML) approaches have the potential for better predictive performance and generalisability over existing child...
