Prediction of Heart Disease using Machine Learning

Abstract

Machine learning is one of the fast growing aspect in current world. Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are helpful in detection and diagnosis of various heart diseases. Naïve Bayes Classification is a vital approach of classification in machine learning. The heart disease consists of set of range disorders affecting the heart. It includes blood vessel problems such as irregular heart beat issues, weak heart muscles, congenital heart defects, cardio vascular disease and coronary artery disease. Coronary heart disorder is a familiar type of heart disease. It reduces the blood flow to the heart leading to a heart attack. In this paper the UCI machine learning repository data set consisting of patients suffering from heart disease is analyzed using Naïve Bayes classification and support vector machines. The classification accuracy of the patients suffering from heart disease is predicted using Naïve Bayes classification and support vector machines. Implementation is done using R language.
