Analysis of The Use of Nguyen Widrow Algorithm in Backpropagation in Kidney Disease

Abstract

Fast and accurate diagnosis is very important for kidney disease. This research conducts and analyzes by using Nguyen Widrow Algorithm in Back Propagation method in artificial neural network for kidney disease diagnosis with the aim to improve the accuracy in predicting and time efficiency in diagnosing. The Nguyen Widrow algorithm is very capable of accelerating convergence and stabilizing the learning process in artificial neural networks, which is also expected to present a meaningful contribution to the handling of health data. This study uses MATLAB as a platform for algorithm implementation and a dataset of medical records of kidney disease patients collected from a hospital that specializes in treating kidney disease patients. The data pre-processing and artificial neural network modeling stages use the Nguyen Widrow algorithm, while the model training process uses the Back Propagation method. The results showed that the Nguyen Widrow algorithm was able to improve the accuracy of predicting someone suffering from kidney disease compared to using only the Back Propagation method. Analysis of the performance of the model shows a significant improvement in stability and convergence speed during the learning process. This indicates that data processing and medical decision making becomes more efficient. On the other hand, this research also studied the challenges and limitations that will be faced in terms of implementation of the Nguyen Widrow algorithm. Also the sensitivity of the initialization parameters, the need for the quality of the dataset to be used in training the model.This research reveals the ability of the Nguyen Widrow algorithm to improve the performance of artificial neural networks in diagnosing kidney disease. By implementing this algorithm in MATLAB, the results show that the use of the latest data processing technology and analysis tools can provide significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency in the medical field. In addition, this research is expected to provide a new direction in the development of machine learning algorithms for applications in the healthcare field, especially for diagnosing kidney disease. By further utilizing this technology, it contributes significantly to improving the quality of healthcare and treatment outcomes for patients suffering from kidney disease.
