PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHM ON DIABETES HEALTHCARE DATASET

Healthcare industry collects huge amount of unclassified data every day. For an effective diagnosis and decision making, we need to discover hidden data patterns. An instance of such dataset is associated with a group of metabolic diseases that vary greatly in their range of attributes. The objective of this paper is to classify the diabetic dataset using classification techniques like Naive Bayes, ID3 and k means classification. The secondary objective is to study the performance of various classification algorithms used in this work. We propose to implement the classification algorithm using R package. This work used the dataset that is imported from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, Diabetes 130-US hospitals for years 1999-2008 Data Set. Motivation/Background: Naïve Bayes is a probabilistic classifier based on Bayes theorem. It provides useful perception for understanding many algorithms. In this paper when Bayesian algorithm applied on diabetes dataset, it shows high accuracy. Is assumes variables are independent of each other.
