CVD Oriented HDP&PP Categorization Method

Hierarchical Probabilistic Support Vector Machine for Detecting Cardiovascular Diseases

“…It is verified that using a specific type of disease-oriented categorization [10] to detect that type of CVD, the classifier might gain the best performance with high accuracy (Acc), sensitivity (SE) and positive predictability value (PPV) which are defined in (9-11):…”

“…Thus, [9] proposed using a genetic algorithm (GA) to extract accurate and comprehensive fuzzy IF-THEN rules and gained good performance. However, it is proved by [10]. The HDP&PP categorization method should be disease-oriented, whereas generic categorization method is applied in existing common hierarchical CVDs diagnosis classifiers [6], [9].…”

“…Besides, a specific HDP&PP categorization method CARTCM [10] was applied for realizing disease-oriented HDP&PP grouping. By taking the diversity of HDP&PP categorization into account, the CVDs diagnostic accuracy of hierarchical classifier is highly increased.…”
