This research evaluates various machine learning classifiers for heart disease prediction, utilizing datasets from UCI and Kaggle to benchmark their performance across multiple metrics. The study found that Support Vector Machine (SVM) outperformed other methods on the UCI dataset, while Simple Cart excelled on the Kaggle dataset, indicating that model selection is crucial for accuracy in clinical applications. By demonstrating that well-tuned ML models can enhance early heart disease diagnosis, this work underscores the potential of machine learning in improving patient outcomes.
SVM and Simple Cart emerged as top performers in heart disease prediction, revealing the critical importance of model choice in clinical settings.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, necessitating early and accurate detection to improve patient outcomes. This research focuses on the predictive analysis of heart disease using machine learning (ML) techniques, comparing the performance of multiple classifiers to identify the most accurate and least error-prone method. Two datasets from UCI and Kaggle repositories were utilized, each containing 14 attributes related to heart health indicators. Techniques including J48, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Simple Cart, Bagging, Decision Stump, AdaBoost, Artificial Neural Networks, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were applied. Evaluation metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Relative Absolute Error (RAE), accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure were used for performance comparison. Results revealed that SVM achieved the highest performance on the UCI dataset, while Simple Cart performed best on the Kaggle dataset, offering the highest accuracy and lowest error rates. The research work concludes that ML models, when properly tuned and validated, can significantly assist in the early diagnosis of heart disease, offering critical support for clinical decision-making. Future work may involve hybrid approaches and the use of more recent datasets to further improve prediction accuracy.
