Study analysis for journal publications on the treatment phase.

Reference Objective, data set, and methodology Performance and remarks
[9]
  • Objective: Digital analysis of blood smears and preclassification of cells

  • Data set: Images of blood smears from a hematologic laboratory

  • Methodology: MERGE algorithm

Performance:
  • Accuracy: 90%

Strengths:
  • Introduction of a new computational and statistical method to determine gene markers

Limitations:
  • Small data set comprising only 30 patients with acute myeloid leukemia

Validation:
  • Leave-one-out cross validation

[75]
  • Objective: Prediction of complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia

  • Data set: 473 bone marrow samples from the Children’s Oncology Group

  • Methodology: K-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, and hill climbing

Performance:
  • Area under the curve: 0.84

Strengths:
  • Use of 3 feature selection algorithms: randomized LASSO, recursive feature elimination, and hill climbing

  • Use of 3 classifiers: support vector machine, random forest, and K-nearest neighbor

Limitations:
  • Small data set

Validation:
  • 100 iterations of a 5-fold cross validation

[81]
  • Objective: Identify the right patterns to improve risk stratification of patient with CLLsa

  • Data set: (1) the first cohort comprised CLL cells of 196 individuals; the second cohort comprised CLL cells of 98 individuals including their clinical data and RNA-seq

  • Methodology: (1) EM algorithm and the Gaussian mixture models; (2) Boosted tree ensemble method

Performance:
  • Precision: 90%

Strengths:
  • High accuracy and precision

Limitations:
  • Large data set and 5-year monitoring is required

Validation:
  • External validation on an independent cohort

aCLL: chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
