A Combined AdaBoost and NEWFM Technique for Medical Data Classification

A hybrid technique combining the AdaBoost ensemble method with the neural network with fuzzy membership function (NEWFM) method is proposed for medical data classification and disease diagnosis. Combining the Adaboost, a general method used to improve the performance of learning methods, with the ‘standard’ NEWFM, which uses as base classifiers, ensures better accuracy in medical data classification tasks and diagnosis of diseases. To validate the proposal, four medical datasets related to epileptic seizure detection, Parkinson, cardiovascular (heart), and hepatitis disease diagnoses were used. The results show an average classification accuracy of 95.8% (made up of best accuracy of 99.5% for epileptic seizure, 87.9% for Parkinson, 97.4% for cardiovascular (heart) disease, and 98.7% for Hepatitis dataset classifications), which suggests that the proposed technique is capable of efficient medical data classification and potential applications in disease diagnosis and treatment.
