Abstract

Many real world problems can be solved with Artificial Neural Networks in the areas of pattern recognition, signal processing and medical diagnosis. Most of the medical data set is seldom complete. Artificial Neural Networks require complete set of data for an accurate classification. This paper dwells on the various missing value techniques to improve the classification accuracy. The proposed system also investigates the impact on preprocessing during the classification. A classifier was applied to Pima Indian Diabetes Dataset and the results were improved tremendously when using certain combination of preprocessing techniques. The experimental system achieves an excellent classification accuracy of 99% which is best than before.
