Classification of pathological disorders in children using random forest algorithm

The massive technological expansions in modern healthcare solutions have substantially influenced the development of several unfolding research fields. One such interesting area involves the therapeutic prognosis of pathological conditions in patients by using knowledge engineering techniques. These techniques have inevitably assisted in the growth of healthcare systems. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive classification framework for identification of pathological disorders in children. We consider a real dataset to study the accuracy in prediction of different classification algorithms for the identification of seven different pathological conditions. We then present an experimental analysis corresponding to the performance of each algorithm. This framework can be used for the early detection of diseases and for suggesting appropriate precautionary measures. Further a more stratified understanding of the demographics of a patient’s pathological conditions can be determined and appropriate treatment can be recommended.
