This in turn sets a huge barrier to effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Investigations were done through neuropathogenesis and neuroimaging analysis as an effort to identify discriminative biomarkers for MDD while understanding the biological dependencies. The literature suggested that microRNA or miRNA transcripts are more likely to deliver substantial predictive power in diagnosis and antidepressant treatment response (ATR) prediction. Yet, there presents discrepancy in unique markers, and such discrepancy might be due to the small sample size over some of the reported studies. This study utilized miRNA as a predictor to model MDD ATR using k-nearest neighbour (kNN). The shortlisted miRNA through feature selection techniques scored 71.20, 68.13, 72.13, and 84.07 for three response levels in accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision, respectively. Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) was then applied to the shortlisted miRNA and three response levels reported at least 98 in each of the mentioned performance metric. © 2023 IEEE. date: 2023 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Lee, L.H. and Ho, C.S.H. and Tay, G.W.N. and Lu, C.-K. and Tang, T.B.
