Doranne Thomassen on Quantifying Uncertainty in Machine Learning Models
Doranne Thomassen, Postdoc researcher (Medical Statistics) at Leiden University Medical Center, shared on LinkedIn:
”New publication!
The Lancet Digital Health has published our Viewpoint on uncertainty in ML-based risk predictions in healthcare.
In this study, we developed a computational method to express individual prediction uncertainty as an effective sample size, with illustrations for logistic regression, elastic net, neural net, random forest and XGBoost.
Our findings emphasize the importance of considering prediction uncertainty at the individual level from the perspective of trustworthy AI.
Effective sample sizes can be used when evaluating the trustworthiness of predicted risks for individual patients.
