scholarly journals Heart Diseases Forecast using Data Mining Techniques and Tools

Data Mining have always been a field and combination of both computer science and statistical knowledge. From the beginning it is used to ascertain designs, patterns and arrangements which are formed in the information pool. The motive of the data mining development is to produce useful information from the pool of raw data and convert it into useful information which can be used for future arrangements. The tools which are used in data mining are helpful in predicting the future trends and predictions across the market, which also help in decision making and building the knowledge to make decisions. The “Healthcare Industry” is generally information rich. It has been collecting data to improve the continuing problems and help to identify the solutions for that problems. Data mining techniques can be used to predict heart conditions from the voluminous and complex data which are kept by the hospitals for decision making which are difficult to analyze by outmoded methods. Unfortunately, outmoded methods are less accurate in discovering hidden information from effective decision making. Data mining helps in altering the huge amount of data into knowledge driven which takes, as compared to others, less time and effort for the prediction and with greater accuracy. Our effort is to apply different data mining techniques that are used to solve the problem of biased forecasts and decision making and help in calculating the results with more accuracy.

<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>

The quality of a company's information system is essential and also its physical data model. In this article, the authors apply data mining techniques in order to generate knowledge from the information system's data model, and also to discover and understand hidden patterns within data that regulate the planning of flight hours of pilots and copilots in an airline. With this objective, they use Weka free software which offers a set of algorithms and visualization tools geared to data analysis and predictive modeling of information systems. Firstly, they apply clustering to study the information system and analyze data model; secondly, they apply association rules to discover connection patterns in data; and finally, they generate a decision tree to classify and extract more specific patterns. The authors suggest conclusions according these information system's data to improve future decision making in an airline's flight hours assignments.

— Prediction of heart disease is a big concern now a days because everyone is busy and due to heavy load of work people do not give attention to their health. To diagnose a disease is a big challenge. The issue is to extract data that have some meaningful knowledge. For this purpose, data mining techniques are used to extract meaningful data. Decision Tree and ID3 are used to predict heart diseases. Many researchers and practitioners are familiar with prediction of heart diseases and wide range of techniques is available to predict disease. To address this problem, Decision Tree is used to predict the heart disease. In this study the collected data is pre-processed, Decision Tree algorithm and ID3 were then applied to predict the heart disease.   Index Terms— Decision Tree, ID3 Algorithm, Data Mining, Decision Support System (DSS), knowledge Discovery from Databases (KDD).

Huge amount of data is generated from Healthcare transactions where data are complex, voluminous and heterogeneous in nature. This large dataset can be used as an ideal store which can be analyzed for knowledge discovery as well as various future predictions. So, Data mining is becoming increasingly popular as it offers set of innovative tools and techniques to handle this kind of data set whereas traditional methods have limitations for that. In summary, providing the better patient care and reduction in healthcare cost are two major goals of application of data mining in healthcare. Initially, this chapter explores on the various types of eHealth data and its characteristics. Subsequently it explores various domains in healthcare sector and shows how data mining plays a major role in those domains. Finally, it describes few common data mining techniques and their applications in eHealth domain.

Large organizations use multiple data sources, centralize processing in these organizations require analysis of huge database originating from various locations. Data mining association rules help perform exploration and analysis of large amounts of data to discover meaningful patterns which can facilitate effective decision-making. The objective of this article is to enhance service quality in a hospital using data mining. The improvement in service quality will help to create hygienic environment and enhance technical competence among staff members which will generate value to patients. A weighting model is proposed to identify valid rules among large number of forwarded rules from various data sources. This model is applied to rank the rules based on patient perceived service parameters in a hospital. Results show that this weighting model is efficient. The proposed model can be used effectively for determining the patient’s perspective on hospital services like technical competence, reliability and hygiene conditions under a distributed environment.
