Nowadays, medical diseases are one of the primary causes of death, and it is one the major concerns of developed countries. So, the disease identification process needs a lot of attention since if the diseases are idenfied at the early stage, the rate of death can be decreased. Machine learning techniques is one of the popular approaches that is used for identifying the diseases at the early stage. In this paper, two machine learning techniques, namely Naive Bayes classification algorithm and Laplace smoothing technique are used to predict the heart disease. Here, many medical details are used, such as gender, age, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. to predict the hearth disease of a patient. The proposed decision system supports avoiding unnecessary diagnosis test, which can be highly beneficial to start the treatment quickly. Thus, both time and money can be saved. Both the performance analysis and the experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed scheme over the existing schemes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
