Table 1 Advantages and disadvantages of ML algorithm

From: Current updates in machine learning in the prediction of therapeutic outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma: what should we know?

 

Content

Advantages

It can process a big data

It can process a nonlinear data

It can be used to select meaningful predictive variables and extract radiomic variables

It usually has higher predictive performance than traditional statistical model

Disadvantages

The accurate selection of ML algorithms is a challenge to establish a predictive model

The design of ML predictive models lacks standards

It is difficult to identify the process of ML model development due to the existence of “black box”

The generalization ability of the established model needs to be further confirmed in validation cohort
