Machine Learning for Early Detection of Chronic Diseases: A Case Study in Diabetes Prediction
-
S. Padmalal
Abstract
Early detection of chronic diseases like diabetes is very important for early treatment and effective management. This chapter describes a machine learning (ML) solution for predicting diabetes risk from clinical structured data and a case study is constructed on the PIMA Indian Diabetes dataset. The solution caters to the entire ML pipeline: problem formulation, preprocessing of data, feature selection (FS), model training, validation, and deployment issues. Different preprocessing techniques including missing value imputation, detection of outliers, and feature normalization were used for improving data quality. FS techniques like correlation analysis, recursive feature elimination, and selection based on domain knowledge were utilized to decrease the dimensionality of the data as well as model interpretability. Extensive comparison was conducted among widely used classification models like logistic regression (LR), random forest, support vector machine, and XGBoost. It was suggested to adopt a stacked ensemble model of LR, RF, SVM, and XGBoost that achieved better performance in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The findings confirm the tremendous potential of ML to enable early diabetes diagnosis as an unobtrusive, data-driven, and scalable decision-making supporting system for physicians. This is the groundwork for the further development of clinically applicable artificial intelligence-based prediction models within real-world healthcare settings.
