Analogous terminologies in our methodological framework concept
| Genetic algorithm terminology | Machine learning terminology | Our AUD neuroepigenetics case |
|---|---|---|
| Initial population | Set of feature vectors | Random combination of SUVR values/features from multiple brain regions |
| Chromosome | A single feature vector | Concatenated SUVR values from multiple brain region |
| Gene | One element of the feature vector | SUVR value from a single brain region |
| Fitness value | ML model classification performance | AUD vs. CNT classification reliability |
