BL
|
Easy to construct (quick learning and low computational overhead); low sensitivity to missing data; recursive updating.
|
Low performance with clearly non-normal data or manifestly non homoscedastic distributions; poor calibration.
|
BQ
|
Easy to construct (quick learning and low computational overhead); low sensitivity to missing data; recursive updating.
|
Low performance with clearly non-normal data; poor calibration.
|
k NN
|
Very intuitive; no statistical assumption about the data; good classification if number of samples is large enough.
|
Critical choice of neighbourhood size and metric; large storage requirements and time consuming for large databases.
|
LR
|
Parsimony (few model parameters); interpretability of the parameters in terms of odds.
|
Outliers can affect results significantly; certain assumptions about predictors; difficult updating.
|
ISS
|
Very simple use in clinical practice; strong intuitive appeal; widespread use in heart surgery.
|
Worse performance than more complex models; difficult customization and updating.
|
ANN
|
No statistical assumption about data; ability to estimate non-linear relationships between input data and outputs.
|
Long training process; experience needed to determine network topology; poor interpretability; difficult updating.
