Using the excitation/inhibition ratio to optimize the classification of autism and schizophrenia by Lavinia Carmen Uscătescu, Christopher J. Hyatt, Jack Dunn, Martin Kronbichler, Vince Calhoun, Silvia Corbera, Kevin Pelphrey, Brian Pittman, Godfrey Pearlson, Michal Assaf

“…Using a random forest classifier (RF), we ran a classification analysis using the larger of the two datasets (exploratory dataset; 519 TD, 200 AT, 355 SZ) to determine which of the 53 H would yield the highest performance in classifying SZ and AT. Next, taking the ten most important H based on the exploratory dataset, in combination with phenotypic information collected in the replication dataset (55 TD, 30 AT, 39 SZ), we used RF to compare the classification performance using five feature sets: (a) H only; (b) Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) only; (c) PANSS, ADOS, Bermond–Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ), Empathy Quotient (EQ), and IQ; (d) H, PANSS and ADOS; (e) H, PANSS, ADOS, BVAQ, EQ and IQ. …”
