Improving precision of glomerular filtration rate estimating model by ensemble learning

Abstract Background Accurate assessment of kidney function is clinically important, but estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by regression are imprecise. Methods We hypothesized that ensemble learning could improve precision. A total of 1419 participants were enrolled, with 1002 in the deve...
