Figure 4 The LASSO algorithm and 10-fold cross-validation were used to extract the best subsets of body composition parameters related to female and male FT4. (A) Scatterplot of predicted and observed values in female group (r=0.17). (B) The best body composition parameters selected based on regression coefficients in female group. (C) LASSO coefficient curve of 26 body composition parameters in female group. (D) Scatterplot in male group (r=0.43). (E) The best body composition parameters selected in male group. (F) LASSO coefficient curve in male group. LASSO – least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; FT4 – free thyroxine.
