Common supervised ML techniques with early diagnosis examples.

Model Type Description Example
LR R Uses logistic function to predict categorical outcomes Chhatwal et al. [13]
SVM R, C Constructs hyperplanes to maximise data separation Zhang et al. [14]
NB C Utilises Bayesian probability including priors for classification Olatunji et al. [15]
RF R, C Ensembles predictions of random decision trees Xiao et al. [16]
XGB R, C As RF, but sequential errors minimised by gradient descent Liew et al. [17]
ANN R, C Multiplies input by weights and biases to predict outcome Muhammad [18]
CNN R, C Uses kernels to detect image features Suh [19]

Abbreviations: R: regression, C: classification, LR: logistic regression, SVM: support vector machine, NB: naïve Bayes, RF: random forest, XGB: extreme gradient boosting, ANN: artificial neural network, CNN: convolutional neural network.
