Machine Learning Techniques for Automatic Classification of Patients with Fibromyalgia and Arthritis

The ADABoost classifier is a very powerful tool for helping to diagnose multiple diseases. With some critical features related to the pathology, the classifier can automatically perform the subjects classification. In this way, the automatic classification is a useful aid for the doctor to make the diagnosis. In this manuscript, the authors have achieved a specific classification for fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis using medico-social and psychopathological features obtained from specific questionnaires. It has obtained success rate above 89%, reaching a 97.8596% in the best case. With these results, it can avoid the innumerable and uncomfortable medical tests to diagnose the pathology, saving time and money. Keywords— AdaBoost, classification, Fibromyalgia,
