The Heart Disease Prediction Machine Learning Project aims to build a predictive model that can accurately predict the likelihood of a patient developing heart disease based on several medical and lifestyle factors. The project will leverage various machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines, to build the predictive model.
The project will involve several key steps, including data cleaning and preprocessing, feature selection, model selection, and model training and evaluation. The dataset will be sourced from various healthcare institutions and will contain several medical and lifestyle factors such as age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol level, smoking status, and family history of heart disease, among others.
The dataset will be cleaned and preprocessed to remove any missing values, outliers, or irrelevant features. The dataset will be split into training and testing sets to train and evaluate the model’s performance. Feature selection will be performed to identify the most important features that contribute to the prediction task.
The model will be trained using the selected features and different machine learning algorithms. The best-performing algorithm will be selected based on the evaluation metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The model’s performance will be evaluated on the testing dataset, and the accuracy of the predictions will be measured using evaluation metrics.
The project will also involve visualization techniques to explore the dataset and gain insights into the relationship between different features and the target variable. The visualization techniques will include scatter plots, histograms, and box plots, among others.
The final output of the project will be a web-based application that can take in data on medical and lifestyle factors of a patient and provide a prediction of the likelihood of the patient developing heart disease. The Heart Disease Prediction Machine Learning Project is aimed at providing valuable insights into the factors that contribute to heart disease and providing an accurate prediction of the likelihood of a patient developing heart disease based on medical and lifestyle factors. The project can be useful for healthcare practitioners in diagnosing and treating patients with heart disease and for patients in making lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease.
