A Hybrid Machine Learning Approach for Prediction of Heart Diseases

Heart diseases are the chief cause of death all over the world over the last few decades. To avoid heart disease or coronary illness and discover indications early, individuals over 55 years must have a total cardiovascular checkup. Researchers and specialists developed various intelligent techniques to improve capacity of the health care professionals in recognition of cardiovascular disease. In cardiovascular disease finding and treatment, single data mining strategies are giving the reasonable precision and accuracy. Nevertheless the usage data mining procedure be capable of reducing the number of test that is required to be carried out. In order to decrease the Figure of deaths from heart diseases there has to be a quick and efficient detection technique providing better accuracy and precision. The aim of this paper is to present an efficient technique of predicting heart diseases using machine learning approaches. Hence we proposed a hybrid approach for heart prediction using Random forest classifier and simple k-means algorithm machine learning techniques. The dataset is also evaluated using two other different machine learning algorithms, namely, J48 tree classifier and Naive Bayes classifier and results are compared. Results attained through Random forest classifier and the corresponding confusion matrix shows robustness of the methodology.
