Cancer is becoming one among the common diseases in day to today life, determining cancer in an earlier stage is still problematic. Identification of genetic and environmental factors is necessary to predict the type of cancer. The idea is to develop a cancer prediction system that predict lung and oral cancer depending on the symptoms. The gathered data is pre-processed and the data mining algorithm such as decision tree, logistic regression, Random Forest and Support Vector machines are used to measure the performance. The attribute selection algorithms are used to obtain the mandatory attributes. The main aim of this study is to do a comparative analysis using different algorithms for cancer prediction and suggestion of therapy.

SVM (Support Vector Machine) is a powerful data mining algorithm, and is mainly used to finish classification or regression tasks. In this literature, SVM is used to conduct disease prediction. We focus on integrating with stratified sample and grid search technology to improve the classification accuracy of SVM, thus, we propose an improved algorithm named SGSVM: Stratified sample and Grid search based SVM. To testify the performance of SGSVM, heart-disease data from UCI are used in our experiment, and the results show SGSVM has obvious improvement in classification accuracy, and this is very valuable especially in disease prediction.

Legislative speech records from the 101st to 108th Congresses of the US Senate are analysed to study political ideologies. A widely-used text classification algorithm – Support Vector Machines (SVM) – allows the extraction of terms that are most indicative of conservative and liberal positions in legislative speeches and the prediction of senators’ ideological positions, with a 92 per cent level of accuracy. Feature analysis identifies the terms associated with conservative and liberal ideologies. The results demonstrate that cultural references appear more important than economic references in distinguishing conservative from liberal congressional speeches, calling into question the common economic interpretation of ideological differences in the US Congress.

Background: The computerised classification and prediction of heart disease can be useful for medical personnel for the purpose of fast diagnosis with accurate results. This study presents an efficient classification method for predicting heart disease using a data-mining algorithm. Methods: The algorithm utilises the weighted support vector machine method for efficient classification of heart disease based on a binary response that indicates the presence or absence of heart disease as the result of an angiographic test. The optimal values of the support vector machine and the Radial Basis Function kernel parameters for the heart disease classification were determined via a 10-fold cross-validation method. The heart disease data was partitioned into training and testing sets using different percentages of the splitting ratio. Each of the training sets was used in training the classification method while the predictive power of the method was evaluated on each of the test sets using the Monte-Carlo cross-validation resampling technique. The effect of different percentages of the splitting ratio on the method was also observed. Results: The misclassification error rate was used to compare the performance of the method with three selected machine learning methods and was observed that the proposed method performs best over others in all cases considered. Conclusion: Finally, the results illustrate that the classification algorithm presented can effectively predict the heart disease status of an individual based on the results of an angiographic test.

This study is based on the consideration that the patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis undergoing biological therapy have a higher risk of developing tuberculosis. The QuantiFERON-TB Gold test result was the output of the models and a series of features related to the patients and their treatments were chosen as inputs. A distribution of patients by gender and biological therapy, followed at the time of inclusion in the study, and at the end of the study, is made for both rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. A series of classification algorithms (random forest, nearest neighbor, k-nearest neighbors, C4.5 decision trees, non-nested generalized exemplars, and support vector machines) and attribute selection algorithms (ReliefF, InfoGain, and correlation-based feature selection) were successfully applied. Useful information was obtained regarding the influence of biological and classical treatments on tuberculosis risk, and most of them agreed with medical studies.
