Abstract

In medical science, collecting and classifying data from various diseases is a vital task. The confused and large amounts of data are problems that prevent us from achieving acceptable results. One of the major problems for diabetic patients is a failure to properly diagnose the disease. As a result of this mistake in diagnosis or failure in early diagnosis, the patient may suffer from complications such as blindness, kidney failure, and cutting off the toes. Nowadays, doctors diagnose the disease by relying on their experience and knowledge and performing complex and time-consuming tests. One of the problems with current diabetic, diagnostic methods is the lack of appropriate features to diagnose the disease and consequently the weakness in its diagnosis, especially in its early stages. Since diabetes diagnosis relies on large amounts of data with many parameters, it is necessary to use machine learning methods such as support vector machine (SVM) to predict the complications of diabetes. One of the disadvantages of SVM is its parameter adjustment, which can be accomplished using metaheuristic algorithms such as particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO), genetic algorithm, or grey wolf optimizer (GWO). In this paper, after preprocessing and preparing the dataset for data mining, we use SVM to predict complications of diabetes based on selected parameters of a patient acquired by laboratory test using improved GWO. We improve the selection process of GWO by employing dynamic adaptive middle filter, a nonlinear filter that assigns appropriate weight to each value based on the data value. Comparison of the final results of the proposed algorithm with classification methods such as a multilayer perceptron neural network, decision tree, simple Bayes, and temporal fuzzy min–max neural network (TFMM-PSO) shows the superiority of the proposed method over the comparable ones.

Summary

Introduction

As the twenty-first century progresses, we are witnessing globalization, changes in people’s lifestyles and industrialization, one of the consequences of which is a change in the pattern of diseases [1]. Contagious diseases were considered to be the major health problem in third world countries, but the increasing role of noncontagious diseases in mortality, especially in developing countries, is a serious threat. Diabetes is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by a malfunction in glucose metabolism due to problems with the production or Extended author information available on the last page of the article utilization of insulin hormone. The long-term risks of diabetes are extremely serious for health, such as premature death, blindness, loss of organs if gangrene is not controlled, and impotence. Patients that require insulin treatment and whose disease has begun in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood are at risk for such problems [1]
