“…When 3 classifiers including the K‐Nearest Neighbor, Probabilistic Neural Network, and Decision Tree were used, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and accuracy showed very excellent values, more than 98% . However, diagnostic performances for evaluating thyroid malignancy were better with examinations by radiologists than classifier models including the radial basis function–neural network, Naive Bayes classifier, and support vector machine (SVM) . Recently, CNN, CNN combined with other classifiers, and other classifiers alone have been investigated for diagnosing thyroid nodules .…”
