Finding Biomarkers for Schizophrenia: Can Machine Learning algorithms identify schizophrenia-related biomarkers within metagenomic data derived from the human gut microbiome?

There is mounting evidence indicating a relation- ship between the gut microbiome composition and the development of mental diseases but the mech- anisms remain unclear. Shotgun sequenced data from 90 schizophrenic patients and 81 sex, age, weight, and location matched controls was used for three machine learning models: Logistic Re- gression,...
