Show abstract
Quantitative characterization of cell proliferation is central to preclinical drug discovery. Here, we evaluated Random Forest (RF) regression for predicting confluence-based cell growth trends using data from human cancer cell lines and benchmarked its performance against the widely used logistic and Gompertz models. The RF model achieved higher predictive accuracy within the evaluated dataset, particularly at higher initial seeding densities. We further extended the RF framework to predict growth curves across seeding densities. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential of data-driven modeling to complement conventional mathematical approaches and support more informed cell-culture design.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
