Comparison of Classification and Regression Model Approaches on the Main Causes of Stroke with Symbolic Regression Feyn Qlattice

Abstract

Stroke is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, caused by damage to brain tissue resulting from a blockage in the cerebrovascular system. Proper treatment is essential to avoid worsening complications in patients. Several main triggering factors for stroke include hypertension, obesity, smoking habits, lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. The advancement of information technology allows for early disease prediction through the utilization of AI and Machine Learning technology. The vast amount of data available on medical and health services worldwide can be maximized to identify risk factors for various diseases, including stroke. Machine learning techniques can be employed to predict the causes of stroke. In this study, we were inspired to use the Feyn Qlattice model approach to address stroke. Both classification and regression models were tested in this study. The results indicate that the classification model performs better, achieving an accuracy rate of 0.95. In contrast, the regression model yielded less satisfactory results, with R2, MAE, and RMSE values considered inadequate. This conclusion is supported by the regression plot and residual plot, both of which indicate suboptimal performance. Hence, maximizing the use of the Feyn Qlattice regression model in datasets related to the causes of stroke is recommended
