Aim: Recently, classification of medical data gives more importance to identify the existence of disease. Background: Numerous classification algorithms for chronic kidney disease (CKD) are developed and produced better classification results. But, the inclusion of different factors in the identification of CKD reduces the effectiveness of the employed classification algorithm. Objective: To overcome this issue, feature selection (FS) approaches are proposed to minimize the computational complexity and also to improve the classification performance in the identification of CKD. Since numerous bio-inspired based FS methodologies are developed, a need arises to examine the feature selection approaches performance of different algorithms on the identification of CKD. Method: This paper proposes a new framework for classification and prediction of CKD. Three feature selection approaches are used namely Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in the classification process of CKD. Finally, logistic regression (LR) classifier is employed for effective classification. Results: The effectiveness of the ACO-FS, GA-FS and PSO-FS are validated by testing it against a benchmark CKD dataset. Conclusion: The empirical results state that the ACO-FS algorithm performs well and the results reported that the classification performance is improved by the inclusion of feature selection methodologies in CKD classification.

In the recent days, the prediction models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) becomes significant in the area of decision making which is helpful in healthcare systems. Because of large amount of medical data, efficient models are required to obtain precise results and data classification algorithms can be employed to detect the presence of CKD. Recently, various machine learning (ML) dependent on data classifier technique is presented for forecasting CKD. Since numerous classification algorithms for CKD prediction exist, there is a need to investigate the prediction performance of these algorithms. This paper propose a comparative analysis of 4 data classifier technique such as deep learning (DL), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF) and random tree (RT). The process of classification technique is analyzed with the help of reputed CKD dataset attained from UCI repository. From the simulation outcomes, it is evident that the DL method achieved optimal classifier action with respect to various namely accuracy, precision and recall.
