“…Statistical models applied in the published research have primarily been classification models rather then likelihood-ratio models. These classification models have included k nearest neighbors (Fischer & Vielhauer [ 30 ], [ 31 ]; Morris et al [ 32 ]), linear discriminant analysis (Thumwarin et al [ 10 ]; Ghani et al [ 27 ]; Chuan et al [ 28 ]), support vector machines (Zhou et al, [ 22 ]), bagged decision trees (Morris et al [ 32 ]), and neural networks (Li [ 33 ]; Leng & Huang [ 29 ]; Morris et al [ 32 ]; Ghani et al [ 34 ]; Giudice et al [ 35 ]; Razak et al [ 36 ]).…”
