In the present generation, majority of the people are highly affected by kidney diseases. Among them, chronic kidney is the most common life threatening disease which can be prevented by early detection. Histological grade in chronic kidney disease provides clinically important prognostic information. Therefore, machine learning techniques are applied on the information collected from previously diagnosed patients in order to discover the knowledge and patterns for making precise predictions. A large number of features exist in the raw data in which some may cause low information and error; hence feature selection techniques can be used to retrieve useful subset of features and to improve the computation performance. In this manuscript we use a set of Filter, Wrapper methods followed by Bagging and Boosting models with parameter tuning technique to classify chronic kidney disease. The capability of Bagging and Boosting classifiers are compared and the best ensemble classifier which attains high stability with better promising results is identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
