摘要

Early detection of disease significantly reduces diagnostic expenses and improves patient outcomes. Classification, a potent technique in machine learning, reveals hidden patterns and connections within biomedical datasets for predictive tasks. While some classifiers demonstrate satisfactory accuracy, others struggle to capture complex data relationships. This paper explores the effectiveness of ensemble classification techniques, such as bagging and boosting, in enhancing disease prediction accuracy compared to standalone classifiers across various biomedical datasets covering heart diseases, diabetes, breast cancer, and kidney diseases. Our comparative analysis reveals that ensemble classifiers achieve superior accuracy, with absolute enhancements of up to 6% for heart diseases, 9% for diabetes, 2% for breast cancer, and 5% for kidney diseases. These findings underscore the importance of considering a range of classifiers for optimal predictive performance. Additionally, our study highlights the limitations of standalone classifiers in capturing complex data relationships, emphasizing the need for ensemble approaches to address such challenges. By leveraging the diversity of individual classifiers, ensemble methods offer a promising avenue for enhancing disease prediction accuracy and improving healthcare decision-making. This emphasizes the importance of incorporating ensemble techniques in clinical applications for more reliable disease prognosis and personalized treatment strategies.
