DIABETES MELLITUS ATTRIBUTE CLASSIFICATION USING THE NAIVE BAYES ALGORITHM BASED ON FORWARD SELECTION

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that frequently results in death. Almost every nation has experienced and contributed to this rise in mortality. Consequently, several researchers are motivated to determine this disease's source and prevent the increase in mortality rates. The research was conducted in the field of informatics in partnership with health professionals to determine the causes of this condition. Many informatics researchers employ machine learning techniques to aid in analyzing existing data. This study suggests feature selection based on forward selection and the naive Bayes classification approach to determine this disease's primary aetiology. The results demonstrate that our proposed strategy can increase the classification accuracy of patients. The performance outcomes improved by 169%. According to this theory, it is also known that the primary cause of this disease is its dependence on body mass index and age. Therefore, additional research must explore these two variables' impact on various other disorders.
