Using machine learning improves predictions of herd-level bovine tuberculosis breakdowns in Great Britain
Abstract In the United Kingdom, despite decades of control efforts, bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has not been controlled and currently costs ~ £100 m annually. Critical in the failure of control efforts has been the lack of a sufficiently sensitive diagnostic test. Here we use machine learning (ML) to...
