[Retracted] Identifying COVID-19-Specific Transcriptomic Biomarkers with Machine Learning Methods

Figure 1

Entire procedures to investigate the blood expression profiles of acute respiratory infection samples. The profiles are retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus. They are first analysed by Boruta and mRMR methods, resulting in a feature list. Such list is fed into the incremental feature selection method to extract essential biomarker genes/transcripts, build efficient classifiers, and construct classification rules.
