This page details the experiments of the paper "Statistical Learning Approach for Robust Melanoma Screening". Here we show intermediate results and summarize the pipeline.
Experimental setup
The experiments of that paper are based on a classical 5-fold cross validation schema. The significance of the parameters and their interactions are analysed by a fractional factorial ANOVA, using the AUC as evaluation measure. The ANOVA analysis was done with R language.
Dataset
The dataset is a third-party development and was created by the Department of Medical Informatics, RWTH Aachen University. It is composed of 747 dermoscopic images with resolution of 512x512 pixels, of which 187 images are melanomas and 560 images are benign skin lesions.
Final results
This is the full results of our experiments. Each row contains the values used on each parameter of the pipeline. We also show the AUC for every configuration.
Acknowledgments
We are very grateful to Prof. Dr. Thomas M. Deserno, from the Department of Medical Informatics, RWTH Aachen University, for kindly sending the skin cancer images to our research.
