Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper the algorithm based on SVM (Support Vector Machines) for determining of effectiveness of test drug is proposed. The most time-consuming tasks of medicine include diagnosing and choosing a course of treatment. Traditionally, doctors have solved these problems, relying only on their own intuition and experience. Today in their arsenal are increasingly included methods based on high technology and allowing to process large flows of information. Mathematical description and formulation of the problem are given. The results of experiments based on the algorithm are presented. The main goal of the paper is to create prerequisites for preventive diagnosis of tuberculosis patients. Using the proposed model and monitoring system, specialists can correctly diagnose and develop an optimal treatment course.
