Table 3.

The AUC in the task of classification of lesions as benign or malignant, for classification using preharmonization features and for classification using postharmonization features. Within each dataset, the AUC was determined using classification with random forest classifier via 10-fold cross validation, with the posterior probability of malignancy used as the classifier output for ROC curve analysis.
