Machine Learning Technique to Prognosis Diabetes Disease: Random Forest Classifier Approach

Diabetes is one among many chronic diseases. It is the most common disease and lots of peoples are affected by this. There are many things that are liable for diabetes, mainly age, obesity, weakness, sudden weight loss, and many more. Diabetes patients have high risk of diseases like cardiopathy, renal disorder, stroke, nerve damage, eye damage, etc. Detection of the disease isn’t very easy and prediction is additionally costlier. In today’s situation, hospitals are extremely busy due to COVID-19 pandemic, and it might be revolutionary if one could know if they’re at risk of being diabetic without visiting a doctor. But the rise in Artificial Intelligence techniques can be used for disease prognosis. The objective of this study is to develop a model with significant accuracy to diagnose diabetes in patients. Moreover, this paper also presents an effective diabetes prediction model for better classification of diabetes and to enhance the accuracy in diabetes prediction using several machine learning algorithms. Different machine learning algorithms are utilized for early stage diabetes prediction, namely, Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classifier, Support Vector Machine, Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors, Gaussian Process Classifier, AdaBoost Classifier, and Gaussian Naïve Bayes. The performances of these models are measured on respective criteria like Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F-Measure, and Error. For this research work, latest available dataset dated 22nd July, 2020, is being utilized. Latest updated dataset will show comparatively better result.
