Abstract

A machine learning algorithm (MLA) has been applied to a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) dataset previously analysed with a principal component analysis (PCA) linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model. This comparison has confirmed the robustness of FTIR as a prognostic tool for oral epithelial dysplasia (OED). The MLA is able to predict malignancy with a sensitivity of 84 ± 3% and a specificity of 79 ± 3%. It provides key wavenumbers that will be important for the development of devices that can be used for improved prognosis of OED.
