An Efficient and Scalable Heart Disease Diagnosis System with Attribute Impact Based Weights and Genetic Correlation Analysis

Received: 17 October 2020 Accepted: 2 January 2021 Fuzzy neural network (FNN) is playing a vital role in processing of complex data mining applications like medical diagnosis, speech recognition, text processing, image processing etc. Fuzzy neural networks simulate the human brain functionality with fuzzy logic decision making capabilities, to achieve more accuracy in feature selection process of complex data mining applications. Today cardiovascular diseases become a serious global health issue and approximately more than 31% of all global deaths are happening due to cardiovascular diseases reported by WHO. In order to prevent and control the cardiovascular diseases, an efficient and accurate heart disease diagnosis system (HDDS) has to be designed with the state of the art feature based data classifiers. In recent, some research articles introduced HDDS using popular data mining techniques like FNN, but they are suffering from accuracy in allocation of attribute weights and attribute correlation analysis, pattern recognition, forecasting. To address the problems in designing the HDDS, in this paper, Fuzzy Neural Networks has been used with empowered input layer and hidden layers to achieve the high accuracy and performance, while processing the huge set of medical data records. We designed an Attribute Impact calculation procedure to assign the accurate weight values to the attributes and we proposed a Genetic Correlation Analysis algorithm to do correlation analysis which helps in improving the performance.
