Abstract

Medical data classification is a challenging problem in the data mining field. It can be defined as the process of splitting (i.e., categorizing) data into appropriate groups (i.e., classes) based on their common characteristics. The classification of medical data is a significant data mining problem explored in various real-world applications by numerous researchers. In this research, we provide a detailed comparison between several machine learning classification approaches and explored their predictive accuracy on several datasets. They include Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Decision Trees (DT). The quality of the developed classifiers was evaluated using several criteria such as Precision, Recall, and F-Measure. Several data set from the UCI Machine Learning Repository (i.e., Pima Indians Diabetes and the Breast Cancer Coimbra datasets) was used for this study. The experimental results reveal that the ANN-based classifier was the most accurate classification in all cases, with its ROC area being the highest.
