ML-based LDLc estimation methods offer a superior, reliable alternative to traditional formulas. This study aims to evaluate the performance of ML-based LDLc estimation models and compare their accuracy to direct LDLc and conventionally used formulas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      ML models based on Elastic Net-Based Formula, Elastic Net based Formula With Simplified Coefficient, Random Forest (RDF), eXtreme Gradient Boost, Multiple Layer Perceptron Regressor (MLP) were developed based on 61,444 patient datapoints, that is, 36,866-internal dataset and 24,578-external dataset.
