Fig. 3From: Evolutionary methods for variable selection in the epidemiological modeling of cardiovascular diseasesThe performance of cardiovascular predictive modeling in combination with variable selections. The figure portrays boxplots that reflect RMSE (root mean square error) values obtained with Logit and SVM (the degree of the polynomial kernel is 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) models without any variable selection, with stepwise selection and with evolutionary variable selection. Mean RMSE values are marked with asterisksBack to article page
