aceInterpretable Machine Learning for Population-Level Tooth Loss Prediction
Machine learning can support population-level severe tooth loss (STL; ≥6 missing teeth) risk stratification; however, a lack of calibration under domain shift, limited interpretability of conventional black-box models, and inadequate handling of complex survey designs constrain responsible public health interpretation and implementation. We implemented and evaluated an interpretable, survey-weighted Multiple Imputation by Chained Equations-Explainable Boosting Machine (MICE-EBM) framework for population-level ST…
Survey-weighted Explainable Boosting Machine achieved strong temporal stability for severe tooth loss prediction on US BRFSS cohorts, supporting transparent population-level risk stratification.
Cross-survey performance degraded and requires local validation and recalibration before implementation outside same-survey US cohorts.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0597 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
