Comparative analysis of machine learning techniques for cryptocurrency price prediction

The emergence of cryptocurrencies has revolutionized the concept of digital currencies and attracted significant attention from financial markets. Predicting the price dynamics of cryptocurrencies is crucial but challenging due to their highly volatile and non-linear nature. This study compares the performance of various models in predicting cryptocurrency prices using three datasets: Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), and Ethereum (ETH). The models analyzed include Moving Average (MA), Logistic Regression (LR), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM). The objective is to uncover underlying patterns in cryptocurrency price movements and identify the most accurate and reliable approach for predicting future prices. Through the analysis, it could be observed that MA, LR, and ARIMA models struggle to capture the actual trend accurately. In contrast, LSTM and CNN-LSTM models demonstrate strong fit to the actual price trend, with CNN-LSTM exhibiting a higher level of granularity in its predictions. Results suggest that deep learning architectures, particularly CNN-LSTM, show promise in capturing the complex dynamics of cryptocurrency prices. These findings contribute to the development of improved methodologies for cryptocurrency price prediction.

A comparative analysis of machine learning techniques for aboveground biomass estimation: A case study of the Western Ghats, India

Accurate assessment of aboveground biomass (AGB) in tropical forests, particularly within a biodiversity hotspot, is vital for sustainable resource management and the preservation of ecosystems. However, estimating AGB in tropical forests is complex due to the diverse and intricate nature of vegetation, necessitating the integration of data from multiple sources. To tackle this challenge, our study utilized seven machine learning algorithms to analyze various combination of multisource datasets. We developed seven models/scenarios that incorporated Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 as well as environmental factors such as topography, soil and climate to identify key variables for accurate estimation of AGB. For optimal performance, hyperparameters of the algorithms were fine-tuned through 10-fold cross-validation and their accuracy were assessed using the testing dataset. We found that the integrated model of satellite datasets, topography, climate, and soil variables exhibited the highest accuracy, where ensemble stacking, that combined multiple MLAs, proved to be reliable and best suited for predicting AGB (mean absolute error-3.97 Mg 0.1 ha−1, root mean square error-5.67 Mg 0.1 ha−1, and coefficient of determination - 0.82). Notably, the top predictor variables included Sentinel-2 bands (near infrared and green), soil properties (pH and soil organic carbon), and topography (elevation). The study emphasizes the significance of incorporating environmental variables (specifically topography and soil properties) along with Sentinel datasets to improve the accuracy of AGB estimation. This approach has the potential for broader applications, specifically in regions where vegetation productivity is governed by diverse environmental conditions.

An Extensive Analysis of Machine Learning Techniques With Hyper-Parameter Tuning by Bayesian Optimized SVM Kernel for the Detection of Human Lung Disease

Interpretable prediction of acute respiratory infection disease among under-five children in Ethiopia using ensemble machine learning and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP).

Although the prevalence of childhood illnesses has significantly decreased, acute respiratory infections continue to be the leading cause of death and disease among children in low- and middle-income countries. Seven percent of children under five experienced symptoms in the two weeks preceding the Ethiopian demographic and health survey. Hence, this study aimed to identify interpretable predicting factors of acute respiratory infection disease among under-five children in Ethiopia using machine learning analysis techniques. Secondary data analysis was performed using 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey data. Data were extracted using STATA and imported into Jupyter Notebook for further analysis. The presence of acute respiratory infection in a child under the age of 5 was the outcome variable, categorized as yes and no. Five ensemble boosting machine learning algorithms such as adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), Gradient Boost, CatBoost, and light gradient-boosting machine (LightGBM) were employed on a total sample of 10,641 children under the age of 5. The Shapley additive explanations technique was used to identify the important features and effects of each feature driving the prediction. The XGBoost model achieved an accuracy of 79.3%, an F1 score of 78.4%, a recall of 78.3%, a precision of 81.7%, and a receiver operating curve area under the curve of 86.1% after model optimization. Child age (month), history of diarrhea, number of living children, duration of breastfeeding, and mother's occupation were the top predicting factors of acute respiratory infection among children under the age of 5 in Ethiopia. The XGBoost classifier was the best predictive model with improved performance, and predicting factors of acute respiratory infection were identified with the help of the Shapely additive explanation. The findings of this study can help policymakers and stakeholders understand the decision-making process for acute respiratory infection prevention among under-five children in Ethiopia.

A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Techniques for National Glacier Mapping: Evaluating Performance through Spatial Cross-Validation in Perú

Accurate glacier mapping is crucial for assessing future water security in Andean ecosystems. Traditional accuracy assessment may be biased due to overlooking spatial autocorrelation during map validation. In recent years, spatial cross-validation (CV) strategies have been proposed in environmental and ecological modeling to reduce bias in predictive accuracy. In this study, we demonstrate the influence of spatial autocorrelation on the accuracy assessment of glacier surface predictive models. This is achieved by comparing the performance of several widely used machine learning algorithms including the gradient-boosting machines (GBM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), random forest (RF), and logistic regression (LR) for mapping nine main Peruvian glacier regions. Spatial and non-spatial cross-validation methods were used to evaluate the model’s classification errors in terms of the Matthews correlation coefficient. Performance differences of up to 18% were found between bias-reduced (spatial) and overoptimistic (non-spatial) cross-validation results. Regarding only spatial CV, the k-nearest neighbors were the overall best model across Huallanca (0.90), Huayhuasha (0.78), Huaytapallana (0.96), Raura (0.93), Urubamba (0.96), Vilcabamba (0.93), and Vilcanota (0.92) regions, consistently demonstrating the highest performance followed by logistic regression at Blanca (0.95) and Central (0.97) regions. Our validation approach, accounting for spatial characteristics, provides valuable insights for glacier mapping studies and future efforts on glacier retreat monitoring. Incorporating this approach improves the reliability of glacier mapping, guiding future national-level initiatives.

A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Techniques for Cyberbullying Detection on FormSpring in Textual Modality

Social media usage has increased tremendously with the rise of the internet and it has evolved into the most powerful networking platform of the twenty-first century. However, a number of undesirable phenomena are associated with increased use of social networking, such as cyberbullying (CB), cybercrime, online abuse and online trolling. Especially for children and women, cyberbullying can have severe psychological and physical effects, even leading to self-harm or suicide. Because of its significant detrimental social impact, the detection of CB text or messages on social media has attracted more research work. To mitigate CB, we have proposed an automated cyberbullying detection model that detects and classifies cyberbullying content as either bullying or non-bullying (binary classification model), creating a more secure social media experience. The proposed model uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and Machine Learning (ML) approaches to assess cyberbullying contents. Our main goal is to assess different machine learning algorithms for their performance in cyberbullying detection based on a labelled dataset from Formspring [1]. Nine popular machine learning classifiers namely Bootstrap Aggregation or Bagging, Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Linear Support Vector Classifier (Linear SVC), Logistic Regression (LR), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB) and K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) are considered for the work. In addition, we have experimented with a feature extraction method namely CountVectorizer to obtain features that aid for better classification. The results show that the classification accuracy of AdaBoost classifier is 86.52% which is found better than all other machine learning algorithms used in this study. The proposed work demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in automatic cyberbullying detection as against the very intense and time-consuming approaches for the same problem, thereby by facilitating easy incorporation of an effective approach as tools across different platforms enabling people to use social media safely.

Comparative analysis of machine learning techniques for so2 prediction modelling

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is produced both naturally and by human activity. The primary natural resource is derived from volcanoes. The burning of fossil fuels is the primary anthropogenic source (especially coal and diesel). Therefore, a reliable and accurate predicting method is essential for an early warning system for SO2 atmospheric concentration. There are still limited studies in Malaysia that use machine learning methods to predict SO2 concentrations. With the aid of machine learning, this study seeks to develop and predict future SO2 concentrations for the next day using the maximum daily data from Klang, Selangor. RapidMiner Studio is the data mining tool used for this research work. Based on the results, it showed that the SVM model was the best guide to be used compared with the other five models (GLM, DL, DT, GBT, and RF). The performance indicators showed that the SVM model was adequate for the next day’s prediction (R2 = 0.77, SE = 8.26, REL = 18.69%, AE = 1.46, and RMSE = 2.82). The developed model in this research can be used by Malaysian authorities as a public health protection measure to give Malaysians an early warning about the problem of air pollution. The goal of predictive modelling is to make a reasonable prediction of the variable of interest, and frequently, to determine how much the independent variable contributed to the dependent variable. The results also showed that the previous SO2 concentrations were one of the most influential parameters used to predict the future SO2 concentrations.

Abstract Background and Aims The vascular access of choice for hemodialysis patients is the arteriovenous fistula (AVF). There is a high rate of early primary failure and loss of primary AVF patency. Monitoring of vascular access is essential for early diagnosis of complications and prolonging survival. Models based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can be used for this. Method Retrospective descriptive study of the Vascular Doppler Ultrasound (VDU) in adults carried out since January 2019 to January 2022 in our AVF follow-up nephrology clinic. We analyze the results and create AI-based AVF underdevelopment prediction models. We included clinical, demographic and ultrasound variables. Patients were undergoing AVF post-surgery follow-up (VDU by protocol at 3-4 weeks after AVF surgery) or were referred to the clinic with signs of AVF dysfunction. The insufficient development of the vascular access is established as an objective variable. SPSS 20 Statistical Package. Automated Learning Analysis (ML) with Orange ML and BigML. Results 243 VDU were performed. Of the total, 139 (57%) were follow-up post-surgical VDU per protocol and 104 (43%) were AVF dysfunction VDU. Using supervised ML Analysis techniques with random sampling of 80% of the instances for Training and 20% for Test, we obtain prediction models for the underdevelopment (UD) attribute of FAV: Decision tree algorithm, Area under the curve (AUC) 89%, Classification accuracy (CA) 90%, Precision 90%. Random Forest Algorithm (RF) (AUC) 95%, (CA) 86%, Accuracy 81%. Near Neighbor Algorithm (K-NN) (AUC) 88%, CA 82%, Accuracy 78%. Convolutional Neural Networks (NNC) (AUC) 82%, CA 74%, Accuracy 60%. Algorithm with unsupervised technique of clustering in k-Means 3 clusters are obtained. The variables that best correlate with the objective variable are access flow, vein diameter, resistance index (RI) proximal, (RI) distal, and diameter of the anastomosis. Conclusion The vascular ultrasound systematized by the nephrologist facilitates the early diagnosis of complications that lead to early intervention. Analysis of the data with techniques (ML) can facilitate early diagnosis AVF poor development requiring close monitoring or intervention. The development of a nephrology clinic for monitoring vascular access could avoid invasive and unnecessary procedures for the patient.

Comparative analysis of machine learning techniques for predicting water main failures in the City of Kitchener

The resilience of water main networks highly depends on the capacity for identifying and fixing structural failures in the system as fast as possible. Given the buried nature of such systems, this will be hard and costly through manual or semi-automated inspections. In this paper, a data-driven method is applied to predict the failure of water mains in the City of Kitchener. Six machine learning prediction models were developed under two scenarios: global models, which consider the three dominant material types in the network; and the homogenous model, which considers only cast-iron pipes. The water main’s condition score, length, and criticality score were the most influential factors on the pipe failure. The random forest models outperformed the other machine learning models with an accuracy of 97.3% and an F1-score of 80.4%; the homogenous modeling showed superior performance than the global one with an F1-score of 86.0%. The results showed that more than 72% of breaks could have been potentially prevented by monitoring and upgrading only 8% of the network. The superiority of the developed models lies in their ability to predict pipe failures with the least number of false alarms.
