Conclusion
In terms of its prediction values and errors, SVR (linear) appeared to be comparable with RFR for this dataset. Based on our results, the PA, PI, and total MU calculations may be useful in guiding VMAT plan evaluation and ultimately reducing uncertainties in planning and radiation delivery.

INTRODUCTION
REGRESSION
Over the last two decades, the complexity of external beam radiation therapy has increased significantly. Volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) often requires more beam intensity modulation, which typically results in a higher degree of complexity and larger dosimetric uncertainty. Consequently, pretreatment verifica...

Second MU check and pretreatment verification
VMAT technique requires more beam intensity modulation, which usually results in a larger number of MUs. Moreover, uncertainties in using CT/MR/PET simulation, inhomogeneity corrections, and complex calculation algorithms such as convolution/superposition and Monte Carlo warrant the need of doing a second MU check to a...

REGRESSION
Applying SVR (linear) directly to GPR did not result in good prediction values as some of the prediction values were greater than 100%, which is not acceptable for GPR.To avoid this issue, a logit transform was applied to GPRs. First, GPRs were divided by 100 to have data in the range between 0 and 1. However, as it is...

REGRESSION

CONCLUSION

The relationship between GPR (3%/2 mm) and the complexity of VMAT plans was studied by analyzing different MIs. We found that PA, PI, and total MU have the highest level of impact on GPR. However, because MU is already included in PA and PI calculations these metrics may not be fully independent predictors of GPR. Acco...
