Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous machine learning approaches for prostate cancer detection using gene expression data have shown remarkable classification accuracies. However, prior studies overlook the influence of racial diversity within the population and the importance of selecting outlier genes based on expression profiles. OBJECTIVE: To develop a classification method for diagnosing prostate cancer using gene expression in specific populations. METHODS: This research uses Differentially Expressed Gene (DEG) analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, and MSigDB verification as a feature selection framework to identify genes for constructing Support Vector Machine (SVM) models. RESULTS: Among the models evaluated, the highest observed accuracy was achieved using 139 gene features without oversampling, resulting in 98% accuracy for white patients and 97% for African American patients, based on 388 training samples and 92 testing samples. Notably, another model achieved similarly strong performance 97% accuracy for white and 95% for African American patients while using only 9 gene features, trained on 374 samples and tested on 138 samples. CONCLUSIONS: The findings identify a race-specific diagnosis method for prostate cancer detection using enhanced feature selection and machine learning. This approach emphasizes the potential for developing unbiased diagnostic tools in specific populations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
