Implementing Classification Algorithms for Predicting Chronic Diabetes Diseases

Abstract

Now a day Chronic Diabetes Disease is increasing due to many reasons like changes in life style, food habit. It causes an increase in blood sugar levels. If Diabetes Disease remains untreated or unidentified, many different types of complications may be occurred. The doctors have the problem to identify these kinds of diseases easily. The machine learning algorithms helps the doctor to solve these types of problems. In this paper, we implemented three algorithms namely logistic regression, Naive Bayes and Decision tree algorithms to predict diabetes at an early stage. Experiments are performed on Pima Indians Diabetes Dataset, which is from UCI machine learning repository. The performance of all the three algorithms is evaluated using measures on Accuracy. Results obtained showed logistic regression displays 75.3%, Decision tree displays 77.9% and Naive Bayes classifier displays the accuracy value is 76.6%.
