Performance and efficiency of machine learning algorithms for analyzing rectangular biomedical data

Most biomedical datasets, including those of ‘omics, population studies, and surveys, are rectangular in shape and have few missing data. Recently, their sample sizes have grown significantly. Rigorous analyses on these large datasets demand considerably more efficient and more accurate algorithms. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used to classify outcomes in biomedical datasets, including random forests (RF), decision tree (DT),...
