Abstract
At present times, healthcare systems are updated with advanced capabilities like machine learning (ML), data mining and artificial intelligence to offer human with more intelligent and expert healthcare services. This paper introduces an intelligent prediction and classification system for healthcare, namely Density based Feature Selection (DFS) with Ant Colony based Optimization (D-ACO) algorithm for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The proposed intelligent system eliminates irrelevant or redundant features by DFS in prior to the ACO based classifier construction. The proposed D-ACO framework three phases namely preprocessing, Feature Selection (FS) and classification. Furthermore, the D-ACO algorithm is tested using benchmark CKD dataset and the performance are investigated based on different evaluation factors. Comparing the D-ACO algorithm with existing methods, the presented intelligent system outperformed the other methodologies with a significant improvisation in classification accuracy using fewer features.

This paper has presented an intelligent prediction and classification system for healthcare, namely Density based Feature Selection (DFS) with Ant Colony based Optimization (ACO) algorithm called D-ACO algorithm is proposed for the classification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) dataset
Summary
Different techniques have been proposed for effective prediction of CKD by the exploitation of patient’s medical data. The classifier results of the proposed algorithm showed that it attains better performance. As the initial weights of the neuron connection control the NNs performance, the proposed method uses employs MCS algorithm to decrease the root mean square error (RMSE) value employed in the training process of NN. The simulation results reported that NN-MCS algorithm attained better performance than NN-CS method. The reduction in the redundant features of the proposed method improves the classification performance which is validated using five different disease dataset. Naganna Chetty et al.[23] presented a wrapper method for CKD identification by following three steps: (1) a framework is generated from data mining, (2) Wrapper subset attribute evaluator and best first search approach are employed to select attributes and (3) Classification algorithms are employed. The simulation outcome depicted that the decrease in a number of features does not ensure effective classification performance
