Early Diagnostics Model for Dengue Disease Using Decision Tree-Based Approaches

Abstract

Classification schemes have been applied in the medical arena to explore patients' data and extract a predictive model.This model helps doctors to improve their prognosis, diagnosis, or treatment planning processes.The aim of this work is to utilize and compare different decision tree classifiers for early diagnosis of Dengue. Six approaches, mainly J48 tree, random tree, REP tree, SOM, logistic regression, and naïve Bayes, have been utilized to study real-world Dengue data collected from different hospitals in the Delhi, India region during 2015-2016. Standard statistical metrics are used to assess the efficiency of the proposed Dengue disease diagnostic system, and the outcomes showed that REP tree is best among these classifiers with 82.7% efficient in supplying an exact diagnosis.
