Datasets

Discovery_set.csv is the discovery dataset contains 490 HBV infected subjects with their histopathologic staging of hepatic fibrosis, Age, AST, ALT, PLT, and FIB4.

Validation_set1.csv is the validation dataset-1 contains 86 HBV infected subjects with their histopathologic staging of hepatic fibrosis, Age, AST, ALT, PLT, and FIB4.
