Improvement of Kernel SVM to Enhance Accuracy in Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a highly serious health issue, affecting millions of people worldwide. Early diagnosis and accurate prediction of chronic kidney disease are key factors in successful treatment. One of the approaches used for diagnosing this disease is through machine learning algorithms, specifically the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. By collecting CKD data that includes various clinical parameters, initial kernel selection as well as various kernels are tested. However, the accuracy of the SVM method can be further improved for better diagnosis. The objective of this research is to enhance accuracy, optimize parameters, and improve the SVM kernel by incorporating the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The results of this study indicate that the use of PSO method to improve SVM kernels can significantly enhance accuracy in CKD diagnosis compared to conventional SVM approaches, potentially aiding medical practitioners in early disease diagnosis and better CKD management, which in turn can improve patient prognosis and quality of life
