Table 1: Description details of the OULA dataset. The selection of variables is undoubtedly a critical factor in determining the outcomes and implications of any study that relies on data analysis. The variables played a fundamental role in the construction of the predictive models in our study. The utilization of distinct variables may lead to variations in the performance of the models.
