Application of the random forest algorithm to Streptococcus pyogenes response regulator allele variation: from machine learning to evolutionary models.

Abstract excerpt

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a globally significant bacterial pathogen. The GAS genotyping gold standard characterises the nucleotide variation of emm, which encodes a surface-exposed protein that is recombinogenic and under immune-based selection pressure. Within a supervised learning methodology, we tested three random forest (RF) algorithms (Guided, Ordinary, and Regularized) and 53 GAS response regulator...
