The data that was gathered from a physical therapy center in Thailand comprised of outpatients’ medical records, medical screening forms, and a target variable. A group of 147 stroke patients and 294 non-stroke individuals with six demographic predictors were selected for the study. Three classification algorithms were used in the study. These were; Na¨ıve Bayes, Decision Tree, and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). They were used to analyze the data collected and the results were compared. They were evaluated by use of a 10-fold cross-validation method. The selection criteria were primarily measured by accuracy and the area under ROC curve (AUC). The secondary selection criteria were indicated by False-Positive Rate (FPR) and False-Negative Rate (FNR). The results showed that the best performing algorithm that was studied was ANN combined with integrated data. This approach have an overall accuracy of 0.84, an AUC of 0.90, a FPR of 0.12 and an FNR of 0.25. The results of the study demonstrated that ANN with the integration of demographic and medical screening data produced the best predictive performance compared to the other models. This result was found according to both the primary and secondary model selection criteria.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Interdisciplinary Research Review}, author={Thammaboosadee, Sotarat and Kansadub, Teerapat}, year={2019}, month={Oct.}, pages={61–69} }
