Predicting heart ailment in patients with varying number of features using data mining techniques

Abstract

<span>Data mining can be defined as a process of extracting unknown, verifiable and possibly helpful data from information. Among the various ailments, heart ailment is one of the primary reason behind death of individuals around the globe, hence in order to curb this, a detailed analysis is done using Data Mining. Many a times we limit ourselves with minimal attributes that are required to predict a patient with heart disease. By doing so we are missing on a lot of important attributes that are main causes for heart diseases. Hence, this research aims at considering almost all the important features affecting heart disease and performs the analysis step by step with minimal to maximum set of attributes using Data Mining techniques to predict heart ailments. The various classification methods used are Naïve Bayes classifier, Random Forest and Random Tree which are applied on three datasets with different number of attributes but with a common class label. From the analysis performed, it shows that there is a gradual increase in prediction accuracies with the increase in the attributes irrespective of the classifiers used and Naïve Bayes and Random Forest algorithms comparatively outperforms with these sets of data.</span>

“…Data mining refers to the process of data extracting from a large database [8] to look for a pattern [9] or for useful and interesting information which can be used in making prediction. The steps involved in text mining include i) data cleaning, the process of removing useless data on the database, ii) data integration, the process of data compilation, iii) data transformation, the process of transforming data suitable for data analysis, iv) data selection, the process of selecting useful data for data analysis, v) data mining, the process of using data to create a model, vi) evaluation of patterns, the process of model evaluation, and vii) knowledge presentation, the process of presenting the results obtained from the model [10], [11].…”

Land use/land cover classification using machine learning models

“…RF classifier applied over urban communities Dakar and Ouagadougou, cover more than 1,000 km 2 altogether, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 m. In the year 2019, Jamali [7] compared and contrasted eight machine learning methods for image categorization in the northern region of Iran developed in the Waikato environment for knowledge analysis (WEKA) and R programming languages. Machine learning models [14]- [16] such as RF, SVM [17], [18], decision tree, K-nearest-neighbors (KNN) [19], principal component analysis (PCA) [20] are successfully applied in many application areas. We have built up an ensemble model [21], including SVM and XGBoost [22], that gives better precision when contrasted with other individual machine learning models.…”
