Abstract

The use of data mining algorithms in health information systems has played a significant role in developing applications that help to diagnose different diseases. The type of the disease determines the selection of the algorithm, parameters to be used, and dataset pre-processing steps, etc. In this chapter, diagnosing diabetes mellitus is the target since it has gained significant attention in the last few decades due to the increased severity of the disease. Four predictive data mining approaches are being used in diagnosing diabetes. Four models were implemented to diagnose diabetes from PIMA dataset: k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, multilayer perceptron neural network, and naive Bayesian network. Giving the highest classification accuracy, support vector machine technique outperformed the others with a value of 78.83%.
