A Transportable Threshold-Based Framework for Interpretable Classification of Medical Data
Short summary
This paper introduces a fully interpretable, rule-based clinical classification framework using Bernoulli Naïve Bayes with chi-square-guided binarization of continuous variables. Evaluated on diabetes, breast cancer, and heart failure datasets, it achieves AUC scores of 0.800–0.984, comparable to complex black-box models. The framework provides explicit decision rules and calibrated probabilities reproducible with basic arithmetic, supporting trustworthy AI adoption in healthcare.
- •Interpretable BNB framework with chi-square binarization achieves AUC 0.80–0.98 on three medical benchmarks
- •Calibrated probabilities and explicit decision rules reproducible without software
- •Addresses black-box adoption barrier in clinical AI by providing full transparency
