A machine learning based variable selection algorithm for binary classification of perinatal mortality.

The identification of significant predictors with higher model performance is the key objective in classification domain. A machine learning-based variable selection technique termed as CARS-Logistic model is proposed by coupling competitive adaptive re-weighted sampling(CARS) and logistic regressio...

description The identification of significant predictors with higher model performance is the key objective in classification domain. A machine learning-based variable selection technique termed as CARS-Logistic model is proposed by coupling competitive adaptive re-weighted sampling(CARS) and logistic regression for binary classification. Based on five assessment criteria, the proposed method is found to be more efficient than Forward selection logistic regression model. The CARS-Logistic model is executed to determine the significant factors of perinatal mortality in Pakistan. The identified hazards communicated social, cultural, financial, and health-related characteristics which contain key information about perinatal mortality in Pakistan for policymakers.
