Figure 3. Comparison of different feature extraction and classification methods on predicting benign versus malignant nodules based on (left) only imaging features, and (right) imaging features concatenated with clinical features.

The vertical lines denote the median, and (0.05, 0.95) quantiles of the empirical AUC distribution where the classifier output is random. LBP Lasso didn’t converge within given time for image and clinical features concatenated.
