Comparison of DNA methylation based classification models for precision diagnostics of central nervous system tumors

Abstract excerpt

As part of the advancement in therapeutic decision-making for brain tumor patients at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH), we developed three robust classifiers, a deep learning neural network (NN), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), and random forest (RF), trained on a reference series DNA-methylation profiles to classify central nervous system (CNS) tumor types. The models' performance was rigorously validated...
