Abstract

It is evident that usage of machine learning methods in disease diagnosis has been increasing gradually. In this study, diagnosis of lymph diseases, which is a very common and important disease, was conducted with such a machine learning system. In this study, we have detected on lymph diseases using principles component analysis (PCA), fuzzy weighting pre-processing and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The approach system has three stages. In the first stage, dimension of lymph diseases dataset that has 18 features is reduced to four features using principles component analysis. In the second stage, a new weighting scheme based on fuzzy weighting method was utilized as a pre-processing step before the main classifier. Then, in the third stage, ANFIS was our used classifier. We took the lymph diseases dataset used in our study from the UCI machine learning database. The obtained classification accuracy of our system was 88.83% and it was very promising with regard to the other classification applications in the literature for this problem.
