Description
Summary:In end-stage renal disease (ESRD), vascular calcification risk factors are essential for the survival of hemodialysis patients. To effectively assess the level of vascular calcification, the machine learning algorithm can be used to predict the vascular calcification risk in ESRD patients. As the amount of collected data is unbalanced under different risk levels, it has an influence on the classification task. So, an effective fuzzy support vector machine based on self-representation (FSVM-SR) is proposed to predict vascular calcification risk in this work. In addition, our method is also compared with other conventional machine learning methods, and the results show that our method can better complete the classification task of the vascular calcification risk.
