Predicting continental origin from genomic information on human Chromosome 1

Is Machine Learning racist?


Repository for the Machine Learning course (VU University, 2017)

Description

A continental predictor trained with Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data based on a Machine Learning approach.
The repository contains the source code and the full report.

The trained algorithms include:

  • Random Forest (RF)
  • Naive Bayes classifier
  • Support Vector Machine
  • Ensemble (stacking approach)

The feature selection incorporates an approach based on Information Gain quantification.

The model evaluation is based on a Receiver Operating Characteristic plot (ROC) and a confusion matrix.

The statistical significance of the models was assessed with a permutation test.

Dataset

SNP genotype from The 1000 Genomes project.

Dependencies

  • Numpy
  • Pandas
