Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy? (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?. Gut : journal of the British Society of Gastroenterology, 55, A23 - A23Introduction: Artificial neural networks (ANN) are computer programs used to identify complex relations within data sets undetectable with conventional linear statistical analysis. One such complex problem is the prediction of need for lower gastroin... Read More about Can artificial neural networks predict which patients need a colonoscopy?.
