“…Using Python 3.9.7, we selected eight distinct machine learning models/classifiers to predict the duration of lymphoma clinical trials. Our choices were informed using previous research in oncology clinical trial predictions [ 4 , 6 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] and the inherent strengths of each model. These models are Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), Linear Discriminative Analysis (LDA), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (Gaussian NB), and Multi-Layer Perceptron Classifier (MLP).…”
