A New Hybrid Model for Heart Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning Algorithms Optimized by Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm

Heart disease is a kind of cardiovascular disease (CVD) which globally considered death's number one cause. Data Science plays an important role in processing large data amounts in the healthcare domain. There are several problems that could hinder appropriate cardiac monitoring, including limited of medical dataset, lack of depth analysis, and feature selection. In this paper, we exploit the method of Fast Correlation-Based Feature Selection (FCBF) for filtering extra features for developing heart disease classification quality. Next, we implement the classification according to various algorithms of classification like Decision tree, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and a Multilayer Perception which is optimized with the modified whale optimization algorithm evaluation version named Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm (MWOA). The proposed model optimized with FCBF as well as MWOA obtain an 83.26% accuracy score by Logistic Regression.
