Table 2. Performance of the estrus detection models developed by three machine learning algorithms (random forest, RF; artificial neural network, ANN; and support vector machine, SVM) on 34 estrous cycles.

Machine learning algorithm True positive False positive False negative Sensitivity (%) Precision (%)
RF 20 13 14 58.8 60.6
ANN 19 7 15 55.9 73.1
SVM 17 9 17 50.0 65.4

Sensitivity and precision were calculated as true-positive/(true-positive + false-negative) and true-positive/(true-positive + false-positive), respectively. Sensitivities and precisions of the three estrus detection models were not statistically different (Fisher’s exact test and generalized score statistic, respectively).
