Numerous machine learning and data mining techniques are applied by many researchers around the world to diagnose the presence of chronic kidney disease, so that the patients of chronic kidney disease may get benefited in terms of getting proper healthcare follow-up. In this chapter, Experiment 1 is conducted by implementing different five different classifiers on the original chronic kidney disease dataset. In Experiment 2, feature selection using feature importance method is used to reduce the chronic kidney disease dataset. A subset of 15 independent features and one target feature ‘class' is obtained. Again, the same steps are implemented but on the newly obtained reduced dataset. The results of both the Experiments 1 and 2 are compared, and it is observed that the accuracy of classifiers with feature selection is far better than the accuracy of classifiers without feature selection.","PeriodicalId":346787,"journal":{"name":"Innovations in Digital Branding and Content Marketing","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116416159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research article is based upon primary research of services (banking) sector as a case of service branding with services extended marketing mix variables. A model has been developed to identify the impact of services extended marketing variables on customer-based brand equity. Two components of customer-based brand have been taken into consideration: brand awareness and brand association.
