Stroke prediction using artificial intelligence

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a person's brain is interrupted or reduced. The stroke deprives person's brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause brain cells to die. Numerous works have been carried out for predicting various diseases by comparing the performance of predictive data mining technologies. In this work, we compare different methods with our approach for stroke prediction on the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) dataset. Here, decision tree algorithm is used for feature selection process, principle component analysis algorithm is used for reducing the dimension and adopted back propagation neural network classification algorithm, to construct a classification model. After analyzing and comparing classification efficiencies with different methods and variation models accuracy, our work has the optimum predictive model for the stroke disease with 97.7% accuracy.
