Abstract:
Glioblastoma is a stage IV highly invasive astrocytoma tumor. Its heterogeneous appearance in MRI poses critical challenge in diagnosis, prognosis and survival prediction. This work extracts a total of 1207 different types of texture and other features, tests their significance and prognostic values, and then utilizes the most significant features with Random Forest regression model to perform survival prediction. We use 163 cases from BraTS17 training dataset for evaluation of the proposed model. A 10-fold cross validation offers normalized root mean square error of 30% for the training dataset and the cross validated accuracy of 63%, respectively.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
