Performance evaluate of different chemometrics formalisms used for prostate cancer diagnosis by NMR-based metabolomics

ConclusionThe results show that the pick of a proper feature selection method and classification model, and a resampling method can avoid overfitting in a small metabolomic dataset. Furthermore, this approach would decrease the number of biopsies and optimize patient follow-up.1H NMR-based metabolomics promises to be a non-invasive tool in prostate cancer diagnosis.
