This work presents the dynamic graph cut based Otsu’s method to segment the masses in mammogram images. Major concern that threatens human life is cancer. Breast cancer is the most common type of disease among women in India and abroad. Breast cancer increases the mortality rate in India especially in women since it is considered to be the second largest form of disease which leads to death. Mammography is the best method for diagnosing early stage of cancer. The computer aided diagnosis lacks accuracy and it is time consuming. The main approach which makes the detection of cancerous masses accurate is segmentation process. This paper is a presentation of the dynamic graph cut based approach for effective segmentation of region of interest (ROI). The sensitivity, the specificity, the positive prediction value and the negative prediction value of the proposed algorithm are determined and compared with the existing algorithms. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to detect the accuracy of the proposed system. The sensitivity, the specificity, the positive prediction value and the negative prediction value of the proposed algorithm accounts to 98.88, 98.89, 93 and 97.5% which rates very high when compared to the existing algorithms.
According to the health statistics of India on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) a total of 63538 cases has been registered. Average age of men and women prone to kidney disease lies in the range of 48 to 70 years. CKD is more prevalent among male than among female. India ranks 17th position in CKD during 2015[1]. This paper focus on the predictive analytics architecture to analyse CKD dataset using feature engineering and classification algorithm. The proposed model incorporates techniques to validate the feasibility of the data points used for analysis. The main focus of this research work is to analyze the dataset of chronic kidney failure and perform the classification of CKD and Non CKD cases. The feasibility of the proposed dataset is determined through the Learning curve performance. The features which play a vital role in classification are determined using sequential forward selection algorithm. The training dataset with the selected features is fed into various classifier to determine which classifier plays a vital and accurate role in detection of CKD. The proposed dataset is classified using various Classification algorithms like Linear Regression(LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA), K-Nearest Neighbour(KNN), Classification and Regression Tree(CART), Naive Bayes(NB), Support Vector Machine(SVM), Random Forest(RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) and Ada Boost Regressor (ABR). It was found that for the given CKD dataset with 25 attributes of 11 Numeric and 14 Nominal the following classifier like LR, LDA, CART,NB,RF,XGB and ABR provides an accuracy ranging from 98% to 100% . The proposed architecture validates the dataset against the thumb rule when working with less number of data points used for classification and the classifier is validated against under fit, over fit conditions. The performance of the classifier is evaluated using accuracy and F-Score. The proposed architecture indicates that LR, RF and ABR provides a very high accuracy and F-Score
