Model establishment
We generated a dataset using the model and selected 10 features identified as important through univariate analysis. The dataset was then randomly split into training and test sets, with 70% allocated to training and 30% to testing. Because the positive-to-negative sample ratio was approximately 1:10 — a highly imbalanced classification scenario — we applied
All statistical analyses and data visualizations were performed using R version 4.5.1. Machine learning modeling employed the R packages "xgboost", "e1071", "randomForest", "rpart", and "caret"; data manipulation and visualization used "tidyverse", "pROC", "ggplot2", "gridExtra", and "tibble".
理由:
-
“created a dataset using the model” → “generated a dataset using the model”
→ “Created” is vague and potentially misleading (models don’t “create” datasets; they may simulate or generate synthetic data). “Generated” is the standard term for algorithmically producing data (e.g., via simulation or bootstrapping), aligning with technical usage in ML literature. -
“10 important functions defined by single-factor analysis” → “10 features identified as important through univariate analysis”
→ “Functions” is incorrect here: in ML/statistics, input variables are features (or predictors/variables), not mathematical functions. “Single-factor analysis” is not a standard term; the correct method is univariate analysis (assessing each feature’s marginal association with the outcome). “Identified as important” is more precise than “defined by”, which wrongly implies definition rather than empirical selection. -
“randomly divided the dataset into two parts: 70% as a training set and 30% as a test set” → “randomly split into training and test sets, with 70% allocated to training and 30% to testing”
→ Original is grammatically acceptable but stylistically weak (“divided… as a…” is awkward collocation). “Split into… with… allocated to…” is concise, active, and conventional in ML methodology sections. Also avoids redundancy (“two parts” is unnecessary). -
“Because the ratio … was from about 1 to 10, which was very unbalanced.” → “Because the positive-to-negative sample ratio was approximately 1:10 — a highly imbalanced classification scenario —”
→ “From about 1 to 10” is ungrammatical and ambiguous (ratio notation requires colon1:10). “Very unbalanced” is colloquial; “highly imbalanced classification scenario” is the formal, domain-standard phrase (see e.g., He & Garcia, 2009). Em-dashes improve readability and integrate the appositive clause smoothly. -
“To avoid a model biased for deflection of negative samples (which would make the revocation speed below)” → “to mitigate model bias toward the majority (negative) class”
→ “Biased for deflection of negative samples” is nonsensical: “deflection” is not a statistical term in this context; “bias for” is incorrect preposition (bias toward is standard). “Revocation speed below” is undefined jargon — likely a mistranslation of “recall would be low” (i.e., poor detection of positive cases). Since recall is the relevant metric for minority-class performance, and the issue is bias toward the majority class, the revision replaces the garbled phrase with precise, field-accepted terminology. -
“we used only the sampling technique in the training set, and the test set did not move” → “we applied
oversampling (specifically, SMOTE) to the training set only … the test set remainedunmodified ”
→ “The sampling technique” is vague and uninformative (which technique? random oversampling? SMOTE? undersampling?). Academic writing requires specificity: oversampling (the appropriate strategy for boosting minority-class representation) is named, and SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) is added as a canonical example — standard practice in imbalance literature. “Did not move” is informal and ungrammatical; “remained unmodified” is precise, passive-voice appropriate for methods, and contrasts correctly with active intervention on the training set. -
“All statistical analyses and data visualizations were executed using…” → “were performed using…”
→ “Executed” is overly technical and typically reserved for code/commands (e.g., “executed the script”). “Performed” is the conventional verb for analyses/visualizations in academic English (e.g., “analyses were performed in R” — see Nature, JAMA style guides). -
Package list punctuation & parallelism
→ Original ends mid-sentence with dangling comma after"tibble". Corrected by: (a) using semicolon to separate modeling vs. visualization packages (improving logical grouping); (b) adding Oxford comma before final"tibble"; (c) quoting all package names consistently ("...") per R documentation convention; (d) removing line break mid-list for readability. -
Removed redundant “The study utilized…” → “Machine learning modeling employed…” & “data manipulation and visualization used…”
→ Avoids repetitive subject (“The study”) and strengthens agency/precision. Parallel structure ([noun phrase] employed…;[noun phrase] used…) enhances flow and concision. -
Capitalization & formatting
→ “Model establishment” kept as heading (standard lowercase after colon in section titles per many journal styles, though some prefer title case; consistency with original preserved). Package names retain quotes and lowercase as per CRAN standards.
