Distortions in lattice parameters of MgB₂ superconductor occur when dopants are introduced into the crystal lattice structure which finally affects its superconducting transition temperature (T _C). We hereby developed a superconducting transition temperature estimator (STTE) that is capable of estimating the T _C of superconductors of the doped MgB₂ systems using crystal lattice parameters obtained when dopants are introduced into the crystal structure as descriptors. The model (STTE) was developed with the aid of support vector regression via test-set cross-validation technique using twenty datasets. The developed model was used to estimate the T _C of forty different superconductors of doped MgB₂ system, and the obtained values agree well with the experimental data. The predictive ability of the developed model to directly link the lattice parameters of doped MgB₂ …
