Developing and Evaluation of a Novel Machine Learningโ€“Driven Formula for LDL-C Estimation Published in Turkish Journal of Biochemistry

Published research introducing the Yayla Formula, a machine learningโ€“derived LDL-C equation developed via symbolic regression on 2,270 patients and validated on 89,274 cases across major lab platforms. The formula achieved 96.3% precision, lower error rates, and outperformed Friedewald and Sampson, especially in high-triglyceride scenarios.

Training Patients: 2,270 Validation Cases: 89,274 Precision: 96.3% Method: ML Driven
