Comorbidity Diseases Diagnosis Using Machine Learning Methods and Chi-Square Feature Selection Technique

Abstract

The diagnosis of common diseases, in which people suffer from several bad health conditions, is a complex medical challenge. This study investigated the use of machine learning methods combined with the Chi-square feature selection technique to improve the accuracy and efficiency of comorbidity diseases diagnosis. Using various decision trees of machine learning algorithms, random forest, Gradient Boost, AdaBoost, Bagging, and extra trees, this research aimed to improve the identification and prediction of comorbid conditions and ultimately advance early detection and treatment strategies. Using the selection of Chi-Square features helped give priority to the most relevant attributes, reduce noise, and refine the models. The results showed that both the AdaBoost and Gradient Boost algorithms obtained an accuracy rate of 91.33%, confirming their efficacy in comorbidity diseases diagnosis. However, it is essential to ensure their reliability and efficacy in the real clinical environment, including the practical implementation and validation of these methods, to improve patient care and medical decisions.
