Calibration, Uncertainty Communication, and Deployment Readiness in CKD Risk Prediction: A Framework Evaluation Study
arXiv:2605.21566v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models for chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk prediction often post strong discrimination scores on internal test sets. Calibration and uncertainty quantification get far less attention, leaving clinicians without reliable information about whether the probability outputs are accurate. We trained five classifiers on the UCI CKD dataset (400 patients, 62.5% CKD prevalence): logistic regression, random forest, XGBoost, SVM with Platt scaling, and Gaussian naive Bayes. We evaluated each across calibration quality, conformal predictio
The proliferation of AI in healthcare, particularly for diagnosis and risk prediction, necessitates robust evaluation of model reliability beyond simple discriminatory metrics.
Reliable and calibrated AI models are crucial for clinical adoption and avoiding misdiagnosis, fostering trust and effectiveness in AI-driven healthcare solutions.
The focus in AI model evaluation for critical applications shifts from solely discrimination scores to include uncertainty quantification and calibration, demanding more rigorous validation before deployment.
