Abstract

In this paper, the effect of discretization on determination of coronary artery disease using exercise stress test data by support vector machine classification method is investigated. The study dataset is obtained from cardiology department of Meram faculty of medicine including 480 patients having 23 features. Four classification models are composed. In the first model, the data is classified simply by normalizing it into [-1,1] range. In the second, third and fourth models, the data is classified by employing entropy-MDL, equal width and equal frequency discretization methods on it respectively. Support vector machine is used as the classifier for all classification models. The results show that classification performance of the model implemented by entropy-MDL discretization has the best value.
