Abstract
The present invention provides methods, systems, and code for accurately classifying or diagnosing a sample from an individual as an IBS sample. The methods and systems of the present invention are useful for ruling out one or more diseases or disorders that share a similar clinical presentation as IBS followed by identifying (i.e., ruling in) IBS using statistical algorithm(s) and/or empirical data. In particular, the methods and systems of the present invention use a first combination of learning statistical classifier systems to rule out IBD with an accuracy of greater than about 90% and a second combination of learning statistical classifier systems to rule in IBS in a non-IBD sample with an accuracy of greater than about 80%.
