A Comprehensive Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Predicting Diabetes Mellitus Using the Pima Indians Diabetes Database
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, posing significant health challenges and economic burdens. Early detection and accurate prediction of diabetes are crucial for effective management and prevention of complications. Machine learning techniques offer promising solutions for predicting diabetes risk based on patient data. In this research paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of machine learning algorithms for predicting diabetes mellitus using the Pima Indians Diabetes Database available on Kaggle. The dataset comprises various biomedical attributes such as glucose concentration, blood pressure, and insulin levels, collected from Pima Indian women. Five machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors, and Gradient Boosting, are implemented using Python. The performance of each algorithm is evaluated using multiple metrics, and the results are analyzed to identify the most effective model for diabetes prediction. This study provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of diabetes management and predictive analytics.
