  ABSTRACT: Purpose of this study was to compare different Machine Learning classifiers (C4.5, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, K-NN) in the early prediction of outcome of the subjects in vegetative state due to traumatic brain injury. Accuracy proved acceptable for all compared methods (AUC > 0.8), but sensitivity and specificity varied considerably and only some classifiers (in particular, Support Vector Machine) appear applicable models in the clinical routine. A combined use of classifiers is advisable.
