Diabetes diagnosis using machine learning

Diabetes is a disease associated with high levels of glucose in the blood. Diabetesmake many kinds of complications, which also leads to a high rate of repeated admission of patients with diabetes. The aim of this study is to diagnose Diabetes with machine learning techniques.

The datasets of the article contain several medical predictor variables and one target variable,Outcome. Predictor variables includes the number of pregnancies the patient has had, their BMI, insulin level, age. The main objective of the machine learning models is to classify of the diabetes disease.

Six classifiers have been also adapted and compared their performance based on accuracy, F1-score, recall, precision and AUC. And Finally, Adaboost has the most accuracy 83%.

In this paper a performance comparison of different classifier models for classifying diagnosis is done. The models considered for comparison are logistic regression, Decision Tree, support vector machine (SVM), xgboost, Random Forest and Adaboost. Finally, in the comparison flow, Adaboost, Logistic Regression, SVMand Random Forest, usually has had a high amount; and their amounts has little differences normally.
