Feature Selection based Least Square Twin Support Vector Machine for Diagnosis of Heart Disease

It is evident from various researches that disease diagnosis using machine learning methods has been increasing rapidly. In this research work, feature selection based Least Square Twin Support Vector Machine (LSTSVM), which is a machine learning method, is used for diagnosis of heart diseases. In this approach F-score is used to calculate the weight of each feature and then features are selected according to their weight. The higher weight is assigned to the feature having high F-score. Grid search approach is also utilized to select the best value of classifier's parameters in order to enhance its performance. The heartstatlog disease dataset is used in this study, which is taken from the UCI repository. The performance of proposed model with different feature sets has been evaluated for different training-test datasets. The results indicate that LSTSVM model with 11 features has achieved highest accuracy. The results are very promising as compared to the other approaches proposed earlier.
