MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHM FOR CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE PREDICTION

Abstract: This study explores the use of machine learning to improve early detection of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Using a data set from the UCI repository, seven classifiers and multiple feature selection techniques were evaluated. The Linear SVM with L2 regularization achieved 98.86% accuracy with SMOTE and full features, while a Deep Neural Network reached the highest accuracy of 99.6%. The results highlight the effectiveness of machine learning, especially deep learning, in enhancing CKD diagnosis.
