Figure Lengend Snippet: Machine learning method was used to screen TRDGs. A : Forest plot showed the results of univariate COX regression analysis; B and C : Lasso regression analysis showed that the curve was the lowest when lambda = 0.07, and 8 genes were finally obtained. D : The bar graph shows the RF analysis results, the genes were ranked according to the Gini coefficient for importance, and genes with Gini > 2 were selected for subsequent analysis. E and F : SVM analysis showed that the maximum accuracy and the lowest error rate could be achieved when the number of genes was 22
Article Snippet: Prognostic TRGs were identified using multivariate Cox regression analysis, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to construct a risk model. Model performance was evaluated by Kaplan–Meier(K-M) and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses, and a nomogram integrating clinical variables was developed.
