Random Forest classifiers and Bayesian networks applied to MR spectroscopy measures suggests a high predictive impact of cardiac metabolism in classifying diabetic and obese patients, further implying a causal mechanism with visceral fat, concentric LV remodeling and energy impairment
Figure 2(a,b,c): Bayesian networks learned through NOTEARS structure learning algorithm for each subgroup pair of the data. Each node represents a feature variable, and each directed edge encodes causal influence in the form of conditional probability dependence.
Figure 1(a,b,c): SHAP value plots computed for each Random Forest classification, representing a rank of feature importances. The x-axis gives the SHAP value, i.e. the impact on the model output (for a positive classification). Red indicates higher feature values, while blue indicates lower values.
