Abstract :
Diabetes is a dreadful disease triggered as a result of hyperglycemia. An early detection of this ailment using efficient and intelligent diagnostic tools is very essential to save patients life so as to prevent untimely death and further complications of cardiovascular related issues in the body. Data mining techniques are getting prominence in medical domains in making predictions of chronic health conditions which has the potentials to efficiently diagnose diabetes mellitus disease. The study aims to develop an intelligent diagnostic tool for early prediction of diabetes disease. Data mining algorithms such as k-nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naïve Bayes and Logistic regression were employed in making prognostications. Attribute selection was performed on information gain attribute evaluator based on the data obtained from Pima Indian dataset to determine the best subset of attributes for disease classifications. Experimental result attained from the study using selected features revealed that KNN and Naïve Bayes achieved accuracy of 75.2% and 80.9% respectively while Logistic regression attained the utmost prediction accuracy of 82.2% capable of predicting diabetes mellitus disease efficiently. The model is suitable in medical domains for early prognosis of diabetes disease to assist medical personnel in making intelligent decisions.
