Four feature selection techniques Boruta\u2010based feature selection (BFS), Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression, Forward and Backward Selection and Random Forest (RF) identified 12 key predictive features. Using these features, ensemble methods, including logistic regression artificial neural network, RF, Support Vector Machine, extreme gradient boosting, and light gradient boosting machine were employed for prediction. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1\u2010score, and area under the curve (AUC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The stacking ensemble model achieved the highest performance, with an accuracy of 95.42%, recall of 93.42%, precision of 98.85%, F1\u2010score of 96.08%, and AUC of 0.979.
