摘要: This paper applies artificial neural networks (ANNs) to the survival analysis problem. Because ANNs can easily consider variable interactions and create a non-linear prediction model, they offer more flexible of time than traditional methods. study compares ANN results on two different breast cancer datasets, both which use nuclear morphometric features. The show that successfully predict recurrence probability separate patients with good (more five years) bad (less prognoses. Results are not as clear when separation is done within subgroups such lymph node positive or negative.
