  • Publication number: 20210057039
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of using machine learning analysis to stratify the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB). In some variations, to select informative markers that differentiate SPTB from term deliveries, a processed quantification data of the markers can be subjected to univariate receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. A Differential Dependency Network (DDN) can then applied in order to extract co-expression patterns among the markers. In order to assess the complementary values among selected markers and the range of their relevant performance, multivariate linear models can be derived and evaluated using bootstrap resampling.
