Data mining is becoming more and more popular and essential in the field of medicine. The large amounts of data produced everyday by the medical industry are very complex and voluminous to be processed and analyzed by the usual traditional means. In such cases data mining comes into play. Despite the presence of several prediction algorithms, the efficiency is questionable due to the presence high error rate. Therefore it is necessary to choose a prediction algorithm that gives higher accuracy with fewer errors. The aim of this paper is to create a system for efficient and accurate prediction of cardiovascular disease. The datasets for the process is taken from UCI machine learning repository. The datasets are tested for accuracy using ANOVA technique. The algorithms are investigated using the WEKA tool. The best features for prediction are obtained from feature selection algorithms. Various classification algorithms are applied on the datasets to identify the most efficient algorithm. We observe that random forest gives consistently better accuracy than other algorithms. Tuning is done on the random forest algorithm to further improve the accuracy of prediction system.

Nowadays, heart disease is the main cause of several deaths among all other diseases. Due to the lack of resources in the medical field, the prediction of heart diseases becomes a major problem. For early diagnosis and treatment, some classification algorithms such as Decision Tree and Random Forest Algorithm are used. The data mining techniques compare the accuracy of the algorithm and predict heart diseases. The main aim of this paper is to predict heart disease based on the dataset values. In this paper we are comparing the accuracy of above two algorithms. To implement these methods the following steps are used. In first phase, a dataset of 13 attributes is collected and it was applied on classification techniques using the Decision tree and Random Forest Algorithms. Finally, the accuracy is collected for both the algorithms. In this paper we observed that random forest is generating better results than decision tree in prediction of heart diseases.

Abstract Heart Disease as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. It is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in present society. Therefore, researchers are working to help health care professionals in diagnosing process by using data mining techniques. Although the health care industry is richer in the database this data is not properly mined in order to discover hidden patterns and can able to make decisions based on these patterns. The major goal of this learning refers the extraction of hidden layers by applying numerous data mining techniques that probably give remarkable results in order to ensure the presence of cardiovascular disease among peoples. Data mining classification techniques are used to discover these patterns for research in medical industry. The dataset containing 13 attributes has analyzed for prediction system. The dataset contains some commonly used medical terms like blood pressure, cholesterol level, chest pain and 11 other attributes used to predict cardiovascular disease. The most common and effective classification techniques that are used in mining process are Verdict Tree commonly known as Decision Tree, Extra Trees Classifier, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bays and Logistic Regression has analyzed in this paper. Diagnosing and controlling ratio of deaths from cardiovascular disease Extra classifier trees consider is the best approach. We evaluate these prediction models by using evaluation parameters which are Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1-score. As per our experimental results shows accuracy of Extra trees classifier, Logistic Model tree classifier, support vector machine, and naive bays classifiers are 90%, 88%, 87%, 86% respectively. So as per our experiment analysis Extra Tree classifier with highest accuracy considered best approach for predication cardiovascular disease.

Objective: Preeclampsia affects 2–8% of women and doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease in women after preeclampsia. This study aimed to develop a model based on machine learning to predict postpartum cardiovascular risk in preeclamptic women.Methods: Collecting demographic characteristics and clinical serum markers associated with preeclampsia during pregnancy of 907 preeclamptic women retrospectively, we predicted the cardiovascular risk (ischemic heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, metabolic system disease or arterial hypertension). The study samples were divided into training sets and test sets randomly in the ratio of 8:2. The prediction model was developed by 5 different machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest. 10-fold cross-validation was performed on the training set, and the performance of the model was evaluated on the test set.Results: Cardiovascular disease risk occurred in 186 (20.5%) of these women. By weighing area under the curve (AUC), the Random Forest algorithm presented the best performance (AUC = 0.711[95%CI: 0.697–0.726]) and was adopted in the feature selection and the establishment of the prediction model. The most important variables in Random Forest algorithm included the systolic blood pressure, Urea nitrogen, neutrophil count, glucose, and D-Dimer. Random Forest algorithm was well calibrated (Brier score = 0.133) in the test group, and obtained the highest net benefit in the decision curve analysis.Conclusion: Based on the general situation of patients and clinical variables, a new machine learning algorithm was developed and verified for the individualized prediction of cardiovascular risk in post-preeclamptic women.

An approach for crime detection in India using Data mining techniques is proposed in this paper. The approach consists of the following steps - Data pre-processing, clustering, classification and visualization. Data mining techniques are often applied to Criminology as it provides good results. Criminology is a field which studies about various crime characteristics. Analyzing crime data means exploring crime data. Crime is identified using k-means clustering and the clusters are formed based on the similarity of the crime attributes. The Random Forest algorithm and Neural networks are applied on the data for classification. Visualization is achieved using the Google marker clustering and the crime spots are marked on the India map. The accuracy is verified using WEKA tool. This approach will benefit the Crime department of India in analyzing crime with better prediction. The paper focuses on the crime analysis of various Indian states and union territories during 2001 to 2012.
