摘要

Traditional disease diagnosis methods often struggle with symptoms-based datasets containing categorical data, leading researchers to favor boosting algorithms like CatBoost for their computational efficiency; despite potential limitations in accuracy. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes a novel approach integrating ensemble boosting with traditional naive Bayesian techniques. Recognizing the risk of overfitting with pure ensemble methods, the model strategically blends non-linear models, including XGBoost, to assign weights to symptoms based on disease impact. The blending process, guided by XGBoost decision-making, significantly improves model accuracy compared to single-boost strategies. Preprocessing involves handling categorical data and missing values, enhancing the model's robustness. During the process of blending, the decision of XGBOOST plays an important role. The proposed model's accuracy of "97.2%" is significantly higher than the single-boost strategy.
