A Comprehensive Analysis on Detecting Chronic Kidney Disease by Employing Machine Learning Algorithms

INTRODUCTION: Chronic Kidney Disease refers to the slow, progressive deterioration of kidney functions. However, the impairment is irreversible and imperceptible up until the disease reaches one of the later stages, demanding early detection and initiation of treatment in order to ensure a good prognosis and prolonged life. In this aspect, machine learning algorithms have proven to be promising, and points towards the future of disease diagnosis.OBJECTIVES: We aim to apply different machine learning algorithms for the purpose of assessing and comparing their accuracies and other performance parameters for the detection of chronic kidney disease.METHODS: The ‘chronic kidney disease dataset’ from the machine learning repository of University of California, Irvine, has been harnessed, and eight supervised machine learning models have been…
