A Critical Study of Selected Classification Algorithms for Liver Disease Diagnosis

with Liver disease have been continuously increasing because of excessive consumption of alcohol, inhale of harmful gases, intake of contaminated food, pickles and drugs. Automatic classification tools may reduce burden on doctors. This paper evaluates the selected classification algorithms for the classification of some liver patient datasets. The classification algorithms considered here are Naive Bayes classifier, C4.5, Back propagation Neural Network algorithm, and Support Vector Machines. These algorithms are evaluated based on four criteria: Accuracy, Precision, Sensitivity and Specificity.
