Use of Orange Data Mining Toolbox for Data Analysis in Clinical Decision Making: The Diagnosis of Diabetes Disease
Özet
Diabetes is a life-long illness which occurs as a result of lack of insulin hormone or ineffectiveness of insulin hormone. Blood sugar, fructosamine, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values are widely used for diagnosis of this disease. Although the role of insulin in diagnosing diabetes is great, the HbA1c value is more accurate. This is because HbA1c value gives information about the past two or three months of blood sugar in the treatment of diabetes. This study aims to estimate the HbA1c value with high accuracy. Follow-up data of diabetic patients were used as data. The Orange data mining software is used because it is easy to use in the modeling phase and contains many methods. In this context, the chapter aims to develop an effective prediction model by using a large number of feature selection and classification methods. The results show that the proposed model successfully predicts the HbA1c parameter. In addition, determination of the parameters that are effective in the diagnosis of diabetes has been carried out with the feature selection methods.
