The model was tested with field samples and validated, and had a classification rate of 98.95% (AUC) and an overall error rate of 0.0754! We hope this work proves to be a valuable tool for the coral research community and a model for others to apply machine learning to coral disease research.

What we did:
Using coral gene expression data, we identified gene biomarkers through logistic regression and differential expression statistics. The biomarkers were used to build a Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) predictive model that distinguished between the two diseases.

@kelseybeavers.bsky.social found evidence of dysbiosis between the coral host and Symbiodiniaceae and describes the metabolic and immune shifts that occur as the holobiont transitions from healthy to disease. See her beautiful models in the paper!
