Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually spreads through the air and attacks low immune bodies. Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV) patients are more likely to be attacked with TB. It is an important health problem in India also. The application of association rule mining to classification has led to a new family of classifiers which are often referred to as Associative Classifiers (AC). An advantage of AC is that they are rule-based and if applied on medical datasets, lends themselves to an easier interpretation. It selects a small set of high quality rules and uses this rule set for prediction. This paper proposes classification of TB using classification based association(CBA) and classification based on multiple association rule(CMAR) techniques with our designed prototype model. It predicts the class label of unknown sample as Pulmonary Tuberculosis(PTB) or Retroviral Pulmonary Tuberculosis(RPTB) ie. TB along with HIV based on higher confidence rule.
