Potential Dual Targeting of EGFR and VEGFR2 by Repurposed Drugs for Cholangiocarcinoma: A Molecular Docking Study

Objective: Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive hepatobiliary malignancy characterized by high mortality, late-stage diagnosis, and limited systemic treatment options. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling pathways play central roles in tumor cel...

Tree-Based Classification of COVID-19 Using NanoString Whole-Blood Immune-Response Profiles: Comparison of Full-Dataset and LOOCV-Embedded Feature Selection

This exploratory analysis showed that targeted NanoString immune-response profiles contained a compact transcriptomic signal capable of distinguishing COVID-19 from healthy-control measurements within the analyzed dataset, providing proof-of-concept evidence of internal measurement-level discrimination.

Beyond Binary Classification: A Comprehensive Survival Analysis and Calibration Assessment of the Heart Failure Clinical Records Datase

Background: The Heart Failure Clinical Records dataset (n = 299) is among the most extensively reused benchmark datasets in clinical machine learning, yet the overwhelming majority of published analyses treat patient mortality as a static binary classification target and rarely test the statistical assumptions underlyi...

Tree-Based Machine Learning for Diagnostic Classification of Dengue Fever Using Routine Hematological Parameters: A Secondary Analysis of a Publicly Available Dataset

Tree-based machine-learning models for dengue classification showed moderate discrimination, with high sensitivity but limited specificity, and yielded numerically higher AUROCs and lower Brier scores than the primary SMOTE-trained LR within this internal-validation framework.

An Interpretable XGBoost Model for Diabetes Prediction: Nested Cross-Validation, Calibration, and SHAP Analysis

Under a leakage-controlled, unbiased evaluation, XGBoost provided moderate but trustworthy discrimination together with well-calibrated probabilities for diabetes prediction, while SHAP confirmed clinically plausible predictors.
