In the following, ML models were used to predict the severity in a training and validation dataset.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three hundred and eighteen keratoconic and one hundred sixteen healthy eyes were included in this monocentric and cross-sectional pilot study. Dynamic corneal response (DCR) and corneal thickness related (pachymetric) parameters from CST were chosen by appropriated selection techniques to develop a ML algorithm. The stage of KC was determined by the topographical keratoconus classification system (TKC, Pentacam, Oculus). Patients who were classified as TKC 1, TKC 2 and TKC 3 were assigned to subgroup mild, moderate, and advanced KC. If patients were classified as TKC 1\u20132, TKC 2\u20133 or TKC 3\u20134, they were assigned to subgroups according to the normative range of further corneal indices (index of surface variance, keratoconus index and minimum radius). Patients classified as TKC 4 were not included in this study due to the limited amount of cases. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and random forest (RF) algorithms were used to develop the classification models. Data were divided into training (70% of cases) and validation (30% of cases) datasets.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      LDA model predicted healthy, mild, moderate, and advanced KC eyes with a sensitivity (S\n                      <jats:sub>n<\/jats:sub>\n                      )\/specificity (S\n                      <jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub>\n                      ) of 82%\/97%, 73%\/81%, 62%\/83% and 68%\/95% from a validation dataset, respectively.

The overall accuracy of LDA and RF was 71% and 78%, respectively.
