A chronic disease diabetes mellitus is assuming pestilence proportion worldwide. Therefore prevalence is important in all aspects. Researchers have introduced various methods, but still, the improvement is a need for classification techniques. This paper considers data mining approach and principal component analysis (PCA) techniques, on a single platform to approaches on the polytomous variable-based classification of diabetes mellitus and some selected chronic diseases. The PCA result shows eigenvalues, and the total variance is explained for the principal components (PCs) solution. Total of twelve attributes was analyzed with the intention to precise the pattern of the correlation with minimum factors as possible. Usually, factors with large eigenvalues retained. The first five components have their eigenvalues large enough to be retained. Their variances are 18.9%, 14.0%, 13.6%, 10.3%, and 8.6%, respectively. That explains ~65.3% of the total variance. We further applied K-means clustering with the aid of the first two PCs. As well, correlation results between diabetes mellitus and selected diseases; it has revealed that diabetes patients are more likely to have kidney and hypertension. Therefore, the study validates the proposed polytomous method for classification techniques. Such a study is important in better assessment on low socio-economic status zone regions around the globe.

The grouping of clusters is an important task to perform for the initial stage of clinical implication and diagnosis of a disease. The researchers performed evaluation work on instance distributions and cluster groups for epidemic classification, based on manual data extracted from various repositories, in order to evaluate Euclidean points. This study was carried out on Weka (3.9.2) using 281 real-life health records of diabetes mellitus patients including males and females of ages>20 and <87, who were simultaneously suffering from other chronic disease symptoms, in Nigeria from 2017 to 2018. Updated plugins of K-mean and self-organizing map(SOM) machine learning algorithms were used to cluster the data class of mellitus type for initial clinical implications. The results of the K-mean assessment were built in 0.21 seconds with nine iterations for “type” and eight for “class” attributes. Out of 281 instances, 87 (30.97%) were classified as negative and 194 (69.03%) as positive in the testing on the Euclidean space plot. By assessment for Euclidean points, SOM discovered the search space in a more effective way, but K-mean positioning potencies are impulsive in convergence. This study is important for epidemiological disease diagnosis in countries with a high epidemic risk and low socioeconomic status.

The increasing rate of diabetes is found across the planet. Therefore, the diagnosis of pre-diabetes and diabetes is important in populations with extreme diabetes risk. In this study, a machine learning technique was implemented over a data mining platform by employing Rule classifiers (PART and Decision table) to measure the accuracy and logistic regression on the classification results for forecasting the prevalence in diabetes mellitus patients suffering simultaneously from other chronic disease symptoms. The real-life data was collected in Nigeria between December 2017 and February 2019 by applying ten non-intrusive and easily available clinical variables. The results disclosed that the Rule classifiers achieved a mean accuracy of 98.75%. The error rate, precision, recall, F-measure, and Matthew’s correlation coefficient MCC were 0.02%, 0.98%, 0.98%, 0.98%, and 0.97%, respectively. The forecast decision, achieved by employing a set of 23 decision rules (DR), indicates that age, gender, glucose level, and body mass are fundamental reasons for diabetes, followed by work stress, diet, family diabetes history, physical exercise, and cardiovascular stroke history. The study validated that the proposed set of DR is practical for quick screening of diabetes mellitus patients at the initial stage without intrusive medical tests and was found to be effective in the initial diagnosis of diabetes.

An accurate classification for diabetes mellitus (DBM) allows for the adequate treatment and handling of its menace, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. This study proposes data mining techniques for the classification and identification of the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes cases, stratified by age, gender, diabetic conditions and residential area in the northwestern states of Nigeria, based on the real-life data derived from government-owned hospitals in the region. A K-mean assessment was used to cluster the instances, after 12 iterations the instances classified out of 3022: 2662 (88.09%) non-insulin dependent (NID), 176 (5.82%) insulin-dependent (IND) and 184 (6.09%) gestational diabetes (GTD). The total number of diagnosed diabetes cases was 3022: 1380 males (45.66%) and 1642 females (54.33%). The higher prevalence was found to be in females compared to males, and in cities and towns, rather than in villages (36.5%, 34.2%, and 29.3%, respectively). The highest prevalence among the age groups was in the age group 50–69 years, which constituted 43.9% of the total diagnosed cases. Furthermore, the NID condition had the highest prevalence of cases (88.09%). These were the first findings of the stratified prevalence in the region, and the figures have been of utmost significance to the healthcare authorities, policymakers, clinicians, and non-governmental organizations for the proper planning and management of diabetes mellitus.
