Machine\u2010learning analysis was performed using different models (KNN, RF, LDA, SVM, CART) to find the model with the highest accuracy in correctly classifying skeletal class II\/III. After determining the ideal number of clusters using the Elbow approach, k\u2010means clustering was finally used.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The KNN machine learning model demonstrated the ability of reduced cephalometric parameters to capture much of the same sagittal discriminatory information as the predefined class construct. The results showed that Wits\u2010appraisal only leads to achieving high accuracy in determining skeletal class (accuracy\u2009=\u200994.72%), while adding SN\u2010Pg angle improved the accuracy slightly to 95.86%.
