Abstract

Expert’s knowledge base systems are not effective as a decision-making aid for physicians in providing accurate diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases due to vagueness in information and impreciseness and uncertainty in decision making. For this reason, automatic diagnostic fuzzy systems are very time demanding to improve the diagnostic accuracy. In this paper, we have developed an automatic fuzzy diagnostic system based on genetic algorithm (GA) and a modified dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimization (MDMS-PSO) for prognosticating the risk level of heart disease. Our proposed fuzzy diagnostic system (FS) works as follows: i) Preprocess the data sets ii) Effective attributes are selected through statistical methods such as Correlation coefficient, R-Squared and Weighted Least Squared (WLS) method, iii) Weighted fuzzy rules are formed on the basis of selected attributes using GA, iv) MDMS-PSO is employed for the optimization of membership functions (MFs) of FS, v) Build the ensemble FS from the generated fuzzy knowledge base by fusing the different local FSs. Finally, to ascertain the efficiency of the adaptive FS, the applicability of the FS is appraised with quantitative, qualitative and comparative analysis on the publicly available different real-life data sets. From the empirical analysis, we see that this hybrid model can manage the knowledge vagueness and decision-making uncertainty precisely and it has yielded better accuracy on the different publicly available heart disease data sets than other existing methods so that it justifies its adaptability with different data sets.
