Heart disease prediction using hybrid fuzzy K-medoids attribute weighting method with DBN-KELM based regression model

Automated prediction can be offered for further treatment to make effective and relieve the difficulties in the diagnosis of heart condition of patient. In this paper, a hybrid method is proposed combining FKMAW and DBNKELM based ensemble method to enhance medical diagnosis process. Firstly, the input attributes are weighed using a fuzzy k-medoids clustering based attribute weighting (FKMAW) method. Subsequently, the medical data classification performance is improved by applying the weighing method and the linearly separable dataset is obtained with the transformation of non-linearly separable dataset. With the weighted attributes, a regression model based heart disease prediction scheme is proposed combining Deep belief Network and Extreme learning machine (DBNKELM), in which Extreme learning machine is the top layer of the deep belief network to work as a regression model. The results demonstrate that FKMAW + DBNKELM achieved good performance in rectifying the problems in medical data classification for all the six datasets.
