Abstract:
For the R software application we have taken two datasets “Immunotherapy”
and “Cryotherapy” obtained in comparative study between Intralesional
Immunotherapy and Cryotherapy (2) from the database
https://achieve.ics.uci.edu/datasets.php. This study was conducted in
dermatology clinic “Ghaem Hospital”, Mashad, Iran. The study enrolled 180
patients diagnosed with verrucous lesions. The selection of the patients for
the application of the treatment method was randomized. The patients were
included in two treatment groups in equal number, 90 patients received intralesional
immunotherapy treatment with Candida antigen, 90 patients received
cryotherapy treatment using liquid nitrogen. In this article the data obtained
from this study are analysed as a single dataset by aggregating the two data
sets, the study authors analysing them individually. Also the statistical analysis
was performed using R software unlike the study authors who performed
the analysis using a rule-based fuzzy logic system. The results of the statistical
analysis, by evaluating the predicted probabilities, showed that Immunotherapy
is more effective than Cryotherpy in treating warty lesions. The values of these
probabilities are 0.60 for Cryotherapy treatment and 0.89 for Immunotherapy
treatment.
