Infrequent or delayed menstrual periods, and also frequently excessive amounts of androgen, a male hormone, are characteristics of women with PCOS. Despite other consequences, this disease may lead to weight gain, undesirable body hair, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. The number of cases of PCOS has shockingly ascended in the past few years, according to statistics. But the clinical diagnosis procedure for PCOS in the real world becomes critical since the precision of interpretations greatly relies on the knowledge of the doctor. Therefore, a PCOS prediction model using artificial intelligence might be an appropriate supplement to the lengthy and error\u2010prone diagnosis method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To strictly prevent data leakage, the dataset underwent an 80\/20 train\u2010test split before applying SMOTE and two\u2010stage feature selection exclusively to the training data. This framework combined Chi\u2010Square filtering with Recursive Feature Elimination to identify the most pertinent features. A hybrid XGBoost (XGB) and Multi\u2010Layer Perceptron (MLP) ensemble was selected from multiple machine learning models following rigorous evaluation using 10\u2010fold stratified cross\u2010validation. Finally, SHapley Additive exPlanations and Local Interpretable Model\u2010Agnostic Explanations were integrated to significantly enhance overall model transparency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The hybrid ensemble model (XGB\u2009+\u2009MLP) outperformed conventional single ML models, with the greatest classification accuracy of 96.33% among all evaluated models. The model's interpretability and performance were greatly enhanced by the 16 characteristics that were chosen.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Combining hybrid ensemble learning, two\u2010stage feature selection, and XAI approaches provides a computationally efficient, dependable, and interpretable method for PCOS diagnosis.
