Background: The computerised classification and prediction of heart disease can be useful for medical personnel for the purpose of fast diagnosis with accurate results. This study presents an efficient classification method for predicting heart disease using a data-mining algorithm. Methods: The algorithm utilises the weighted support vector machine method for efficient classification of heart disease based on a binary response that indicates the presence or absence of heart disease as the result of an angiographic test. The optimal values of the support vector machine and the Radial Basis Function kernel parameters for the heart disease classification were determined via a 10-fold cross-validation method. The heart disease data was partitioned into training and testing sets using different percentages of the splitting ratio. Each of the training sets was used in training the classification method while the predictive power of the method was evaluated on each of the test sets using the Monte-Carlo cross-validation resampling technique. The effect of different percentages of the splitting ratio on the method was also observed. Results: The misclassification error rate was used to compare the performance of the method with three selected machine learning methods and was observed that the proposed method performs best over others in all cases considered. Conclusion: Finally, the results illustrate that the classification algorithm presented can effectively predict the heart disease status of an individual based on the results of an angiographic test.

The objective of this study was to explore the application value of intracavitary electrocardiogram- (IEGM-) guided diagnosis of occult heart disease and conventional electrocardiogram (EGM) in the diagnosis of occult coronary heart disease (CHD) based on the classification and regression tree (CART) mining algorithm, hoping to provide a more effective basis for clinical diagnosis of the occult CHD. In this study, 100 patients with occult CHD admitted to our hospital from February 2016 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. Based on the random number table method, 100 patients were randomly rolled into two groups, each with 50 cases. The patients diagnosed with conventional ECG were set as the control group, and patients in the experimental group were diagnosed with IEGM under the data mining algorithms. The diagnostic effects of the two groups were compared. The results showed that the processing effect of the CART algorithm (94%) was much better than that of the multiple linear regression algorithm (78%) and the random forest algorithm (69%) ( P < 0.05 ), the agreement between the results of the experimental group and the results of coronary angiography (80%) and Kappa (0.7) was higher than those of the control group (55%, 0.45), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, the sensitivity (93%) and accuracy (80%) of the experimental group were obviously higher than those of the control group (62% and 55%), and the differences were remarkably significant ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, the consistency ratio of the IEGM examination was higher, showing high accuracy; the intracavitary examination was invasive, so IEGM was not recommended when the diagnosis result of the examination may cause more harm than good.

Public transport can discourage individual car usage as a life-cycle asset management strategy towards carbon neutrality. An effective public transport system contributes greatly to the wider goal of a sustainable built environment, provided the critical transit system attributes are measured and addressed to (continue to) improve commuter uptake of public systems by residents living and working in local communities. Travel data from intra-city travellers can advise discrete policy recommendations based on a residential area or development’s public transport demand. Commuter segments related to travelling frequency, satisfaction from service level, and its value for money are evaluated to extract econometric models/association rules. A data mining algorithm with minimum confidence, support, interest, syntactic constraints and meaningfulness measure as inputs is designed to exploit a large set of 31 variables collected for 1,520 respondents, generating 72 models. This methodology presents an alternative to multivariate analyses to find correlations in bigger databases of categorical variables. Results here augment literature by highlighting traveller perceptions related to frequency of buses, journey time, and capacity, as a net positive effect of frequent buses operating on rapid transit routes. Policymakers can address public transport uptake through service frequency variation during peak-hours with resultant reduced car dependence apt to reduce induced life-cycle environmental burdens of buildings by altering residents’ mode choices, and a potential design change of buildings towards a public transit-based, compact, and shared space urban built environment.
