Visualization and analysis of classifiers performance in multi-class medical data

چکیده
The primary role of the thyroid gland is to help regulation of the body’s metabolism. The correct diagnosis of thyroid dysfunctions is very important and early diagnosis is the key factor in its successful treatment. In this article, we used four different kinds of classifiers, namely Bayesian, k-NN, k-Means and 2-D SOM to classify the thyroid gland data set. The robustness of classifiers with regard to sampling variations is examined using a cross validation method and the performance of classifiers in medical diagnostic is visualized by using cobweb representation. The cobweb representation is the original contribution of this work to visualize the classifiers performance when the data have more than two classes. This representation is a newly used method to visualize the classifiers performance in medical diagnosis. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملFeature-based Malicious URL and Attack Type Detection Using Multi-class Classification
Nowadays, malicious URLs are the common threat to the businesses, social networks, net-banking etc. Existing approaches have focused on binary detection i.e. either the URL is malicious or benign. Very few literature is found which focused on the detection of malicious URLs and their attack types. Hence, it becomes necessary to know the attack type and adopt an effective countermeasure. This pa...
متن کاملMMDT: Multi-Objective Memetic Rule Learning from Decision Tree
In this article, a Multi-Objective Memetic Algorithm (MA) for rule learning is proposed. Prediction accuracy and interpretation are two measures that conflict with each other. In this approach, we consider accuracy and interpretation of rules sets. Additionally, individual classifiers face other problems such as huge sizes, high dimensionality and imbalance classes’ distribution data sets. This...
