Survey: Data Mining Techniques in Medical Data Field

Abstract

Now days most of the research area are working on data mining techniques in medical data. Knowledge discovery and data mining have found numerous applications in business and scientific domain. Valuable knowledge can be discovered from application of data mining techniques in healthcare system. In this study, we briefly examine the potential use of classification based data mining techniques such as Rule based, decision tree, machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machines, Principle Component Analysis etc., Rough Set Theory and Fuzzy logic. In particular we consider a case study using classification techniques on a medical data set of diabetic patients.
