AI总结:

本研究针对工程类与统计类联邦学习(FL)认知不均的问题,首次通过模拟与真实临床数据对比5类FL框架,明确了统计法偏差小、可估置信区间,工程法预测更准的优劣,为二者融合应用提供依据。

摘要:

联邦学习(FL)在医疗协作场景的数据隐私保护方面展现出可观潜力。尽管“FL”这一术语最初由工程界提出,统计学领域也已探索了类似的隐私保护算法,但统计类FL算法的认可度仍远低于工程类FL算法。本研究旨在填补这一认知缺口,首次对工程与统计两大领域的FL框架开展全面对比。我们使用模拟数据与真实世界数据,评估了5种FL框架。结果显示,统计类FL算法生成的模型系数点估计偏差更小,且能便捷地进行置信区间估计;相比之下,基于工程的方法往往能产出更准确的预测结果,部分情况下表现优于集中 pooled 模型与统计类FL模型。本研究明确了两类方法的相对优缺点,强调未来FL应用中需提升对两类方法的认知并推动二者融合。

英文摘要:

Federated learning (FL) has shown promising potential in safeguarding data privacy in healthcare collaborations. While the term "FL" was originally coined by the engineering community, the statistical field has also explored similar privacy-preserving algorithms. Statistical FL algorithms, however, remain considerably less recognized than their engineering counterparts. Our goal was to bridge the gap by presenting the first comprehensive comparison of FL frameworks from both engineering and statistical domains. We evaluated five FL frameworks using both simulated and real-world data. The results indicate that statistical FL algorithms yield less biased point estimates for model coefficients and offer convenient confidence interval estimations. In contrast, engineering-based methods tend to generate more accurate predictions, sometimes surpassing central pooled and statistical FL models. This study underscores the relative strengths and weaknesses of both types of methods, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and their integration in future FL applications.
