Addressing Binary Classification over Class Imbalanced Clinical Datasets Using Computationally Intelligent Techniques

Abstract

Nowadays, healthcare is the prime need of every human being in the world, and clinical datasets play an important role in developing an intelligent healthcare system for monitoring the health of people. Mostly, the real-world datasets are inherently class imbalanced, clinical datasets also suffer from this imbalance problem, and the imbalanced class distributions pose several issues in the training of classifiers. Consequently, classifiers suffer from low accuracy, precision, recall, and a high degree of misclassification, etc. We performed a brief literature review on the class imbalanced learning scenario. This study carries the empirical performance evaluation of six classifiers, namely Decision Tree, k-Nearest Neighbor, Logistic regression, Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Gaussian Naïve Bayes, over five imbalanced clinical datasets, Breast Cancer Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, Indian Liver Patient, Pima Indians Diabetes Database, and Coronary Kidney Disease, with respect to seven different class balancing techniques, namely Undersampling, Random oversampling, SMOTE, ADASYN, SVM-SMOTE, SMOTEEN, and SMOTETOMEK. In addition to this, the appropriate explanations for the superiority of the classifiers as well as data-balancing techniques are also explored. Furthermore, we discuss the possible recommendations on how to tackle the class imbalanced datasets while training the different supervised machine learning methods. Result analysis demonstrates that SMOTEEN balancing method often performed better over all the other six data-balancing techniques with all six classifiers and for all five clinical datasets. Except for SMOTEEN, all other six balancing techniques almost had equal performance but moderately lesser performance than SMOTEEN.

Simulation Analysis of Physical Fitness Training via Deep Learning Algorithm

“…Moreover, the content of the training method is flexible, the athletes are not easily fatigued, the training enthusiasm is relatively high, and there is a certain interest, which can prevent the fatigue of nerves and muscles during exercise and can reduce the injury of the athletes. Literature [28] proposed that the dynamic stability of the core of athletes is different from the traditional core strength training. However, in the actual exercise process, the body posture is constantly changing, and it is difficult to achieve efficient training in a stable state, and training in a stable state can only train the large muscle groups in the superficial core area.…”

Racial differences in prevalence and anatomical distribution of tarsal coalition

“…Performing MRI for research is difficult due to cost burden. Recently, the use of deep learning algorithms in medical imaging is rapidly increasing 50 , 51 . If a model capable of diagnosing tarsal coalition using imaging findings of CT scans is developed, this problem could be improved.…”
