RFAB: The Hybrid Model for the Heart Disease Prediction
Main Article Content
Abstract
The need for fast and accurate diagnostic systems is crucial as heart disease currently ranks as the leading cause of death worldwide. This study proposes a hybrid ensemble model called RFAB, which combines the predictions of Random Forest and Adaboost classifiers for reliable heart disease prediction. The proposed model introduces a significant improvement by utilizing an expanded dataset, increasing from 303 to 27,597 records, and applying advanced feature extraction and dimensionality reduction techniques. The testing accuracy was 95% which indicates the higher performance of the RFAB compared with SVM-81.71% and Extra Tree classifier-84%. These findings offer a non-invasive, low-cost method for early diagnosis, allowing for prompt clinical interventions and enhancing patient outcomes.
