Heat Disease Prediction using Machine Learning
In recent times, the diagnosis of heart disease has become a very critical task in the medical field. In the modern age, one person dies every minute due to heart disease. Data science has an important role in processing big amounts of data in the field of health sciences. Since the diagnosis of heart disease is a complex task, the assessment process should be automated to avoid the risks associated with it and alert the patient in advance. This paper uses the heart disease dataset available in the UCI Machine Learning Repository. The proposed work assesses the risk of heart disease in a patient by applying various data mining methods such as Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, KNN, Linear SVM, RBF SVM, Gaussian Process, Neural Network, Adabost, QDA and Random Forest. This paper provides a comparative study by analyzing the performance of various machine learning algorithms. Test results confirm that the KNN algorithm achieved the highest 97% accuracy compared to other implemented ML algorithms.
