Efficient Medical Diagnosis of Human Heart Diseases Using Machine Learning Techniques With and Without GridSearchCV

Abstract

Predicting cardiac disease is considered one of the most challenging tasks in the medical field. It takes a lot of time and effort to figure out what’s causing this, especially for doctors and other medical experts. In this paper, various Machine Learning algorithms such as LR, KNN, SVM, and GBC, together with the GridSearchCV, predict cardiac disease. The system uses a 5-fold cross-validation technique for verification. A comparative study is given for these four methodologies. The Datasets for both Cleveland, Hungary, Switzerland, and Long Beach V and UCI Kaggle are used to analyze the models’ performance. It is found in the analysis that the Extreme Gradient Boosting Classifier with GridSearchCV gives the highest and nearly comparable testing and training accuracies as 100% and 99.03% for both the datasets (Hungary, Switzerland &; Long Beach V and UCI Kaggle). Moreover, it is found in the analysis that XGBoost Classifier without GridSearchCV gives the highest and nearly comparable testing and training accuracies as 98.05% and 100% for both the datasets (Hungary, Switzerland & Long Beach V and UCI Kaggle). Furthermore, the analytical results of the proposed technique are compared with previous heart disease prediction studies. It is evident that amongst the proposed approach, the Extreme Gradient Boosting Classifier with GridSearchCV is producing the best hyperparameter for testing accuracy. The primary aim of this paper is to develop a unique model-creation technique for solving real-world problems.
