Hybrid artificial neural network and decision tree algorithm for disease recognition and prediction in human blood cells

摘要

Machine learning algorithms are used to analyze medical data sets effectively in present. Today machine learning gives us several necessary tools for intelligent data analysis and research. Especially in very recent years, the digital world has provided relatively inexpensive and available means to collect and store the data. The main aim is to implement supervised machine learning concept by using datasets regarding blood cells collected from blood cells detecting and counting sensors, of a human as the input which is trained by artificial neural network algorithm and apply decision tree classification learning algorithm to perform classification which results in recognizing and also possibly predict the disease based on the nature of blood cells and classify accordingly. Artificial Neural network algorithm seems to avoid pruning problem and has higher efficiency and accuracy in training the datasets. Also the using of Decision tree is because they are easy to interpret, understand and also possess non-linear characteristics between values. This holds well the performance of the tree constructed which gives better outputs. Beside all the application developed using machine learning in day today life, the use of such learning algorithm in such medical application will enhance and benefit the medical field.
