Type2 diabetes mellitus prediction using data mining algorithms based on the long-noncoding RNAs expression: a comparison of four data mining approaches

We aimed to find the best data mining approach for the prediction of T2DM using six lncRNA expression. According to the finding, the maximum AUC dedicated to SVM and logistic regression, among others, KNN and ANN also had the high mean AUC and small standard deviations of AUC scores among the approaches, KNN had the highest mean sensitivity and the highest specificity belonged to SVM. This study's result could improve our knowledge about the early detection and diagnosis of T2DM using the lncRNAs as biomarkers.
