Abstract

The number and size of medical databases are rapidly increasing, and the advanced models of data mining techniques could help physicians to make efficient and applicable decisions. The challenges of heart disease data include the feature selection, the number of the samples; imbalance of the samples, lack of magnitude for some features, etc. This study mainly focuses on the feature selection improvement and decreasing the numbers of the features. In this study, imperialist competitive algorithm with meta-heuristic approach is suggested in order to select prominent features of the heart disease. This algorithm can provide a more optimal response for feature selection toward genetic in compare with other optimization algorithms. Also, the K-nearest neighbor algorithm is used for the classification. Evaluation result shows that by using the proposed algorithm, the accuracy of feature selection technique has been improved.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
