Comparative Study of Artificial Neural Network based Classification for Liver Patient

The extensive accessibility of new computational methods and tools for data analysis and predictive modeling requires medical informatics researchers and practitioners to steadily select the most appropriate strategy to cope with clinical prediction problems. Data mining offers methodological and technical solutions to deal with the analysis of medical data and construction of prediction models. Patients with Liver disease have been continuously increasing because of excessive consumption of alcohol, inhale of harmful gases, intake of contaminated food, pickles and drugs. Therefore, in this study, Liver patient data is considered and evaluated by univariate analysis and a feature selection method for predicator attributes determination. Further comparative study of artificial neural network based predictive models such as BP, RBF, SOM, SVM are provided.
