ABSTRACT

As the human population increases, so is the chance of getting

diseases. There are many illnesses globally, and one of the biggest
problems faced by the hospital systems today is the lack of
technology to know when the patients are ill. One such illness is
cardiovascular disease or CVD. It refers to any heart disease,
vascular disease, or blood vessel disease. According to WHO, more
people die of CVD’s worldwide than any other cause. It affects the
low and middle-income countries more. It is very hard for people
living alone to contact the hospital when they are sick. Therefore,
we have developed a model that can detect when a patient is ill and
report back to the hospital. The system currently only identifies
patients with heart disease and reports back to the hospital. We
decided to go with heart disease identification because it is one of
the deadliest diseases, and the risk of patients dying because of
heart disease is high. Predicting whether a patient has heart disease
or not is very clearly a classification problem. Therefore, we have
used five models to classify. We take several factors such as blood
sugar level, age, cholesterol level, and many more and give the
outcome based on the input.

 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 MOTIVATION
In a world grappling with escalating health challenges, particularly
the pervasive threat of cardiovascular disease (CVD), our innovative
model addresses a critical gap in patient care. By harnessing advanced
technology to detect signs of heart disease, we empower individuals,
especially those in underserved regions, to receive timely medical
attention, potentially saving countless lives.

1.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION

The escalating global population amplifies the risk of diseases, with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) standing as a leading cause of mortality, especially
in low and middle-income countries. Hospital systems grapple with a lack of
proactive technology to identify and respond promptly to patient ailments,
particularly for those living alone. To address this, we've focused on developing a
model specifically targeting heart disease detection, utilizing key health indicators
to enable timely intervention and reduce the alarming mortality rates associated
with CVD.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT

The primary objective of our project is to leverage advanced classification models
to detect and predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals. By integrating
crucial health parameters such as blood sugar levels, age, cholesterol, and more,
we aim to create a robust system that proactively identifies patients at risk. The
goal is to provide a timely and automated alert mechanism to hospitals, facilitating
prompt medical intervention and significantly reducing the mortality rate
associated with heart diseases. associated with heart diseases.

 2. LITERATURE SURVEY

Fahd Saleh Alotaibi (2019) has created a machine learning model

comparing five various machine learning algorithms [1]. The author has
deeply studied the accuracy of Naive Bayes, LR, SVM, Decision Tree,
and Random Forest classification algorithms. The highest accuracy was
by the Decision Tree.

Theresa Prince. R, et al. (2016) have surveyed different models used for
predicting heart disease. The classification techniques used by Theresa
were Naive Bayes, Neural network, KNN) LR, and Decision tree. The
accuracy score was compared with all the models and the comparison was
made efficiently [2].

Nagaraj M Lutimath, et al.,(2020) research on heart disease prediction

using SVM and Naive Bayes classification technique. The way he went
through the analysis of Sum of Squared Error, RMSE, and Mean Absolute
Error, it is established that the SVM emerged as the best classification
technique in terms of accuracy.[3].

Anjan Nikhil Repaka, et al., (2020) have proposed a machine learning

model for predicting heart disease [4] that uses techniques like Naive
Bayesian for the classification of the dataset and AES [8] algorithm for the
prediction of disease.

 3. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

3.1 EXISTING SYSTEM:

Utilizing Support Vector Machines (SVM), our existing system excels in

binary classification for cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection. Trained on
diverse datasets, SVM effectively identifies patients at risk based on key
health parameters. Continuous refinement ensures a robust and accurate
model for timely intervention, crucial in combating heart diseases.

Disadvantages

1. Support Vector Machines (SVM) can be computationally intensive.

2. sensitive to parameter tuning

3. less effective in handling large datasets.

Proposed system

The proposed system leverages Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF),
and Naive Bayes algorithms for cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection. This
ensemble approach ensures enhanced accuracy, robustness, and versatility in
handling diverse datasets, improving early identification and intervention.

Advantages

1. The proposed system excels in accuracy with deep learning,

accommodates complex data patterns,
2. Enhances early cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection.

3.4 SYSTEM STUDY

FEASIBILITY STUDY

The feasibility of the project is analyzed in this phase and the

business proposal is put forth with a very general plan for the project and

some cost estimates. During system analysis, the feasibility study of the

proposed system is to be carried out. This is to ensure that the proposed

system is not a burden to the company. For feasibility analysis, some

understanding of the major requirements for the system is essential.to be

5
 carried out. This is to ensure that the proposed system is not a burden to
the company. For feasibility analysis, some understanding of the major
requirements for the system is essential.

Three key considerations involved in the feasibility analysis are

 ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY
 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
 SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

ECONOMICAL FEASIBILITY

This study is carried out to check the economic impact that the system
will have on the organization. The amount of funds that the company can
pour into the research and development of the system is limited. The
expenditure must be justified. Thus, the developed system is well within the
budget, and this was achieved because most of the technologies used are
freely available. Only the customized products had to be purchased. Only the
customized products had to be purchased.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

This study is carried out to check the technical feasibility, that is,
the technical requirements of the system. No system developed must have a
high demand on the available technical resources. This will lead to high
demands on the available technical resources. This will lead to high demands
being placed on the client. The developed system must have a modest
requirement, as only minimal or null changes are required for implementing
6
this system.

SOCIAL FEASIBILITY

The aspect of the study is to check the level of acceptance

of the system by the user. This includes the process of training
the user to use the system efficiently. The user must not feel
threatened by the system, instead must accept it as a necessity.
The level of acceptance by the users solely depends on the
methods that are employed to educate the user about the system
and to make him familiar with it. His level of confidence must be
raised so that he is also able to make some constructive criticism,
which is welcomed, as he is the final user of the system. The

4.2 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:

1. The DFD is also called a bubble chart. It is a simple graphical formalism

that can be used to represent a system in terms of input data to the

system, various processing carried out on this data, and the output

data generated by this system..

2. The data flow diagram (DFD) is one of the most important modeling
tools.
It is used to model the system components. These components are the
system process, the data used by the process, an external entity that
interacts with the system and the information flows in the system.
3. DFD shows how the information moves through the system and how it
is modified by a series of transformations. It is a graphical technique
that depicts information flow and the transformations that are applied
as data moves from input to output.

4.3 UML DIAGRAMS

UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a standardized

general-purpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented software
engineering. The standard is managed and was created by, the Object
Management Group.

The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating

10
models of object-oriented computer software. In its current form, UML is

comprised of two major components: a Meta-model and a notation. In the

future, some form of method or process may also be added to; or associated
with, UML.-model and a notation. In the future, some form of method or
process may also be added to; or associated with, UML.
The Unified Modeling Language is a standard language for specifying,
Visualization, Constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software
systems, as well as for business modeling and other non-software systems. .

The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that

have proven successful in the modeling of large and complex systems.
UML is a very important part of developing object-oriented software
and the software development process. UML uses mostly graphical notations
to express the design of software projects. UML is a very important part of
developing objects-oriented software and the software development process.
UML uses mostly graphical notations to express the design of software
projects.

GOALS:
The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:
1. Provide users with a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling
Language

so that they can develop and exchange meaningful models...

2. Provide extensibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core
concepts.
3. Be independent of programming languages and development
processes.

11
 4. Provide a formal basis for understanding the modeling language.

5. Encourage the growth of the OO tools market.

6. Support higher-level development concepts such as collaborations,

frameworks, patterns, and components.
7. Integrate best practices.

Use case diagram:

A use-case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type
of behavioral diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its
purpose is to present a graphical overview of the functionality provided by a
system in terms of actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and any
dependencies between those use cases. The main purpose of a use case
diagram is to show what system functions are performed for which actor. The
roles of the actors in the system can be depicted.) is a type of behavioral
diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its purpose is to
present a graphical overview of the functionality provided by a system in
terms of actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and any dependencies
between those use cases. The main purpose of a use case diagram is to show
what system functions are performed for which actor. Roles of the actors in
the system can be depicted.

12
Class diagram:

The class diagram is used to refine the use case diagram and define a detailed design
of the system. The class diagram classifies the actors defined in the use case diagram into a
set of interrelated classes. The relationship or association between the classes can be either an
"is-a" or "has-a" relationship. Each class in the class diagram may be capable of providing
certain functionalities. These functionalities provided by the class are termed "methods" of
the class.
Apart from this, each class may have certain "attributes" that uniquely identify the class.

13
Object diagram:

The object diagram is a special kind of class diagram. An object is an instance of a class.
This essentially means that an object represents the state of a class at a given point in
time while the system is running. The object diagram captures the state of different classes in the
system and their relationships or associations at a given point in time.

14
State diagram:

A state diagram, as the name suggests, represents the different states that objects in the
system undergo during their life cycle. Objects in the system change states in response to
events. In addition to this, a state diagram also captures the transition of the object's state
from an initial state to a final state in response to events affecting the system.

15
Activity diagram:

The process flows in the system are captured in the activity diagram. Similar to a state
diagram, an activity diagram also consists of activities, actions, transitions, initial and final
states, and guard conditions.

16
Sequence diagram:

A sequence diagram represents the interaction between different objects in the system.
The important aspect of a sequence diagram is that it is time-ordered. This means that the
exact sequence of the interactions between the objects is represented step by step. Different
objects in the sequence diagram interact with each other by passing "messages".

4.3 IMPLEMENTATION:
MODULES:

Data Collection: Assemble a comprehensive data set, encompassing

diverse health indicators such as age, blood sugar, and cholesterol, sourced
from healthcare institutions, public repositories, and wearables for a holistic
representation.

Data Preprocessing: Cleanse and standardize the dataset, managing

missing values and outliers, ensuring a robust foundation for subsequent
analysis and modeling.

Feature Selection: Identify and prioritize relevant features, optimizing the

dataset for model efficiency and accuracy, and laying the groundwork for
effective predictive analytics.

Model Development:

The Modeling Module employs Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF),
and Naive Bayes (NB) algorithms to predict Cardiovascular Disease. DT
captures intricate patterns, RF mitigates overfitting, and NB efficiently
handles diverse features. This ensemble approach ensures robust and accurate
predictions, contributing to effective early detection of CVD.

 5. SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT
What is Python:-
Below are some facts about Python.

Python is currently the most widely used multi-purpose, high-level programming

language.

Python allows programming in Object-Oriented and Procedural paradigms. Python

programs generally are smaller than other programming languages like Java.

Programmers have to type relatively less and the indentation requirement of the
language makes them readable all the time.

Python language is being used by almost all tech-giant companies like – Google,
Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Uber… etc.

The biggest strength of Python is a huge collection of standard libraries that can be used
for the following –

• Machine Learning
• GUI Applications (like Kivy, Tkinter, PyQt, etc. )
• Web frameworks like Django (used by YouTube, Instagram, and Dropbox)
• Image processing (like Opencv, Pillow)
• Web scraping (like Scrapy, BeautifulSoup, Selenium)
• Test frameworks
• Multimedia

Advantages of Python:-

Let’s see how Python dominates over other languages.

1. Extensive Libraries

Python downloads with an extensive library and it contains code for various purposes like
regular expressions, documentation generation, unit-testing, web browsers, threading,
databases, CGI, email, image manipulation, and more. So, we don’t have to write the
complete code for that manually.testing, web browsers, threading, databases, CGI, email,
image manipulation, and more. So, we don’t have to write the complete code for that
manually.

2. Extensible

As we have seen earlier, Python can be extended to other languages. You can write
some of your code in languages like C++ or C. This comes in handy, especially in
projects.

3. Embeddable

Complimentary to extensibility, Python is embeddable as well. You can put your Python
code in your source code of a different language, like C++. This lets us add scripting
capabilities to our code in the other language.

4. Improved Productivity

The language’s simplicity and extensive libraries render

programmers more productive than languages like Java and C++. Also, the fact that you
need to write less and get more things done.

5. IOT Opportunities

Since Python forms the basis of new platforms like Raspberry Pi, it finds the future bright
for the Internet Of Things. This is a way to connect the language with the real world.

6. Simple and Easy

When working with Java, you may have to create a class to print ‘Hello World’. But in
Python, just a print statement will do. It is also quite easy to learn, understand, and
21
code.

This is why when people pick up Python, they have a hard time adjusting to other more
verbose languages like Java.

7. Readable

Because it is not such a verbose language, reading Python is much like reading English.
This is the reason why it is so easy to learn, understand, and code. It also does not need
curly braces to define blocks, and indentation is mandatory. This further aids the
readability of the code.

8. Object-Oriented

This language supports both the procedural and object-oriented programming

paradigms. While functions help us with code reusability, classes, and objects let us
model the real world. A class allows the encapsulation of data and functions into one.

9. Free and Open-Source

As we said earlier, Python is freely available. Not only can you download Python for
free, but you can also download its source code, make changes to it, and even distribute
it for free, but you can also download its source code, make changes to it, and even
distribute it. It downloads with an extensive collection of libraries to help you with your
tasks..

10. Portable

When you code your project in a language like C++, you may need to make some
changes to it if you want to run it on another platform. But it isn’t the same with Python.
Here, you need to code only once, and you can run it anywhere. This is called Write
Once Run Anywhere (WORA). However, you need to be careful enough not to include
any systemdependent features.

11. Interpreted

Lastly, we will say that it is an interpreted language. Since statements are executed one by
one, debugging is easier than in compiled languages.
Any doubts now about the advantages of Python? Mention in the comment section..
22
Advantages of Python Over Other Languages

1. Less Coding

Almost all of the tasks done in Python require less coding when the same task is done in
other languages. Python also has awesome standard library support, so you don’t have to
search for any third-party libraries to get your job done. This is the reason that many
people suggest learning Python to beginners.t have to search for any third-party libraries
to get your job done. This is the reason that many people suggest learning Python to
beginners.

2. Affordable

Python is free therefore individuals, small companies or big organizations can leverage
the free available resources to build applications. Python is popular and widely used so it
gives you better community support.

The 2019 Github annual survey showed us that Python has overtaken Java in the most
popular programming language category.

3. Python is for Everyone

Python code can run on any machine whether it is Linux, Mac, or Windows.
Programmers need to learn different languages for different jobs but with Python, you can
professionally build web apps, perform data analysis and machine learning, automate
things, do web scraping, and also build games and powerful visualizations. It is an all-
rounder programming language.It is an all-rounder programming language.

Disadvantages of Python

So far, we’ve seen why Python is a great choice for your project. But if you choose it, you
should be aware of its consequences as well. Let’s now see the downsides of choosing
Python over another language.

23
1. Speed Limitations

We have seen that Python code is executed line by line. However since is interpreted, it
often results in slow execution. This, however, isn’t a problem unless speed is a focal
point for the project. In other words, unless high speed is a requirement, the benefits
offered by Python are enough to distract us from its speed limitations.Python is
interpreted, it often results in slow execution. This, however, isn’t a problem unless speed
is a focal point for the project. In other words, unless high speed is a requirement, the
benefits offered by Python are enough to distract us from its speed limitations.

2. Weak in Mobile Computing and Browsers

While it serves as an excellent server-side language, Python is rarely seen on the client
side. Besides that, it is rarely ever used to implement smartphone-based applications. One
such application is called Carbonnelle.One such application is called Carbonnelle.
The reason it is not so famous despite the existence of Brython is that it isn’t that secure.

3. Design Restrictions

As you know, Python is dynamically typed. This means that you don’t need to declare the
type of variable while writing the code. It uses duck-typing. But wait, what’s that? Well,
it just means that if it looks like a duck, it must be a duck. While this is easy on the
programmers during coding, it can raise run-time errors.s that? Well, it just means that
if it looks like a duck, it must be a duck. While this is easy on the programmers during
coding, it can raise run-time errors.

4. Underdeveloped Database Access Layers

Compared to more widely used technologies like JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity)
and ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity), Python’s database access layers are a bit
underdeveloped. Consequently, it is less often applied in huge enterprises.

5. Simple

No, we’re not kidding. Python’s simplicity can indeed be a problem. Take my example. I
don’t do Java, I’m more of a Python person. To me, its syntax is so simple that the
verbosity of Java code seems unnecessary.

24
This was all about the Advantages and Disadvantages of Python Programming Language.

History of Python: -

What do the alphabet and the programming language Python have in common? Right,
both start with ABC. If we are talking about ABC in the Python context, it's clear that the
programming language ABC is meant. ABC is a general-purpose programming language
and programming environment, which was developed in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, at
the CWI (Centrum Wiskunde &Informatica). The greatest achievement of ABC was to
influence the design of Python. Python was conceptualized in the late 1980s. Guido van
Rossum worked at that time on a project at the CWI, called Amoeba, a distributed
operating system. In an interview with Bill Venners1, Guido van Rossum said: "In the
early 1980s, I worked as an implementer on a team building a language called ABC at
Centrum voor Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI). I don't know how well people know
ABC's influence on Python. I will try to mention ABC's influence because I'm indebted to
everything I learned during that project and to the people who worked on it. "Later on in
the same interview, Guido van Rossum continued: "I remembered all my experience and
some of my frustration with ABC. I decided to try to design a simple scripting language
that possessed some of ABC's better properties but without its problems. So, I started
typing. I created a simple virtual machine, a simple parser, and a simple runtime. I made
my version of the various ABC parts that I liked. I created a basic syntax, used
indentation for statement grouping instead of curly braces or begin-end blocks, and
developed a small number of powerful data types: a hash table (or dictionary, as we call
it), a list, strings, and numbers."(or dictionary, as we call it), a list, strings, and numbers."

What is Machine Learning: -

Before we take a look at the details of various machine learning methods, let's start by
looking at what machine learning is, and what it isn't. Machine learning is often
categorized as a subfield of artificial intelligence, but I find that categorization can often
be misleading at first brush. The study of machine learning certainly arose from research
in this context, but in the data science application of machine learning methods, it's more
helpful to think of machine learning as a means of building models of data.

25
Fundamentally, machine learning involves building mathematical models to help
understand data. "Learning" enters the fray when we give these models tunable
parameters that can be adapted to observed data; in this way, the program can be
considered to be "learning" from the data. Once these models have been fit to previously
seen data, they can be used to predict and understand aspects of newly observed data. I'll
leave to the reader the more philosophical digression regarding the extent to which this
type of mathematical, model-based "learning" is similar to the "learning" exhibited by the
human brain. Understanding the problem setting in machine learning is essential to using
these tools effectively so we will start with some broad categorizations of the types of
approaches we'll discuss here.exhibited by the human brain.Understanding the problem
setting in machine learning is essential to using these tools effectively, and so we will
start with some broad categorizations of the types of approaches we'll discuss here.

Categories Of Machine Learning-

At the most fundamental level, machine learning can be categorized into two main types:
supervised learning and unsupervised learning.

Supervised learning involves somehow modeling the relationship between measured

features of data and some labels associated with the data; once this model is determined,
it can be used to apply labels to new, unknown data. This is further subdivided into
classification tasks and regression tasks: in classification, the labels are discrete
categories, while in regression, the labels are continuous quantities. We will see examples
of both types of supervised learning in the following section.in classification, the labels
are discrete categories, while in regression, the labels are continuous quantities. We will
see examples of both types of supervised learning in the following section.

Unsupervised learning involves modeling the features of a dataset without reference to

any label, and is often described as "letting the dataset speak for itself." These models
include tasks such as clustering and dimensionality reduction. Clustering algorithms
identify distinct groups of data, while dimensionality reduction algorithms search for
more succinct representations of the data. We will see examples of both types of

26
unsupervised learning in the following section.

Need for Machine Learning

Human beings, at this moment, are the most intelligent and advanced species on earth
because they can think, evaluate, and solve complex problems. On the other side, AI is
still in its initial stage and hasn’t surpassed human intelligence in many aspects. Then the
question is what is the need to make machines learn? The most suitable reason for doing
this is, “to make decisions, based on data, with efficiency and scale”.“to make decisions,
based on data, with efficiency and scale”.

Lately, organizations are investing heavily in newer technologies like Artificial

Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning to get the key information from data
to perform several real-world tasks and solve problems. We can call it data-driven
decisions taken by machines, particularly to automate the process. These data-driven
decisions can be used, instead of using programming logic, in problems that cannot be
programmed inherently. The fact is that we can’t do without human intelligence, but
another aspect is that we all need to solve real-world problems with efficiency at a huge
scale. That is why the need for machine learning arises.-world problems with efficiency at
a huge scale. That is why the need for machine learning arises.

Challenges in Machines Learning:-

While Machine Learning is rapidly evolving, making significant strides with

cybersecurity and autonomous cars, this segment of AI as a whole still has a long way to
go. The reason behind this is that ML has not been able to overcome several challenges .
The challenges that ML is facing currently are −

Quality of data − Having good-quality data for ML algorithms is one of the biggest
challenges. The use of low-quality data leads to problems related to data preprocessing
and feature extraction..

Time-Consuming task − Another challenge faced by ML models is the consumption of

time especially for data acquisition, feature extraction, and retrieval.

Lack of specialist persons − As ML technology is still in its infancy stage, the

27
 availability of expert resources is a tough job.

No clear objective for formulating business problems − Having no clear objective and
well-defined goal for business problems is another key challenge for ML because this
technology is not that mature yet.

Issue of overfitting & underfitting − If the model is overfitting or underfitting, it cannot

be represented well for the problem.

Curse of dimensionality − Another challenge the ML model faces is too many features
of data points. This can be a real hindrance..

Deployment difficulty − The complexity of the ML model makes it quite difficult to be

deployed in real life..

Applications of Machines Learning:-

Machine Learning is the most rapidly growing technology and according to researchers,
we are in the golden year of AI and ML. It is used to solve many real-world complex
problems which cannot be solved with the traditional approach. Following are some real-
world applications of ML −world applications of ML −

• Emotion analysis

• Sentiment analysis

• Error detection and prevention

• Weather forecasting and prediction

• Stock market analysis and forecasting

• Speech synthesis

• Speech recognition

• Customer segmentation

• Object recognition

• Fraud detection

• Fraud prevention

• Recommendation of products to customers in online shopping

 How to Start Learning Machine Learning?

Arthur Samuel coined the term “Machine Learning” in 1959 and defined it as a “Field of
study that gives computers the capability to learn without being explicitly programmed”.
And that was the beginning of Machine Learning! In modern times, Machine Learning is
one of the most popular (if not the most!) career choices. According to Indeed, Machine
Learning Engineer Is The Best Job of 2019 with a 344% growth and an average base
salary of $146,085 per year.

But there is still a lot of doubt about what exactly is Machine Learning and how to start
learning it. So this article deals with the Basics of Machine Learning and also the path you
can follow to eventually become a full-fledged Machine Learning Engineer. Now let’s get
started!!!!!!

How to start learning ML?

This is a rough roadmap you can follow on your way to becoming an insanely talented
Machine Learning Engineer. Of course, you can always modify the steps according to
your needs to reach your desired end goal!

Step 1 – Understand the Prerequisites

In case you are a genius, you could start ML directly but normally, there are some
prerequisites that you need to know which include Linear Algebra, Multivariate Calculus,
Statistics, and Python. And if you don’t know these, never fear! You don’t need a Ph.D.
degree in these topics to get started but you do need a basic understanding.

(a) Learn Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus

Both Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus are important in Machine Learning.
However, the extent to which you need them depends on your role as a data scientist. If
you are more focused on application-heavy machine learning, then you will not be that
heavily focused on maths as there are many common libraries available. But if you want

29
 to focus on R&D in Machine Learning, then mastery of Linear Algebra and Multivariate
Calculus is very important as you will have to implement many ML algorithms from
scratch..

(b) Learn Statistics

Data plays a huge role in Machine Learning. Around 80% of your time as an ML expert
will be spent collecting and cleaning data. And statistics that handles the collection,
analysis, and presentation of data. So it is no surprise that you need to learn it!!!

Some of the key concepts in statistics that are important are Statistical Significance,
Probability Distributions, Hypothesis Testing, Regression, etc. Also, Bayesian Thinking is
an important part of ML which deals with various concepts like Conditional Probability,
Priors, and Priors, Maximum Likelihood, etc.!!!

(c) Learn Python

Some people prefer to skip Linear Algebra, Multivariate Calculus, and St, at, and statistics,
and learn them as they go along with trial and error. But the one thing that you absolutely
cannot skip is Python! There are other languages you can use for Machine Learning like
R, Scala, etc. Python is currently the most popular language for ML. Many Python
libraries are specifically useful for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning such as
�HYPERLINK "https://keras.io/"Keras, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, etc.Python is currently
the most popular language for ML. In fact, there are many Python libraries that are

You can do that using various online resources and courses such as Fork Python available
Free on GeeksforGeeks.

 Step 2 – Learn Various ML Concepts

Now that you are done with the prerequisites, you can move on to learning ML (Which is
the fun part!!!) It’s best to start with the basics and then move on to the more complicated
stuff. Some of the basic concepts in ML are:

(a) Terminologies of Machine Learning

• Model – A model is a specific representation learned from data by applying some machine
learning algorithm. A model is also called a hypothesis.

• Feature – A feature is an individual measurable property of the data. A set of numeric

features can be conveniently described by a feature vector. Feature vectors are fed as input
to the model. For example, to predict a fruit, there may be features like color, smell, taste,
etc.
• Target (Label) – A target variable or label is the value to be predicted by our model. For
the fruit example discussed in the feature section, the label with each set of input would be
the name of the fruit like apple, orange, banana, etc.
• Training – The idea is to give a set of inputs(features) and its expected outputs(labels), so
after training, we will have a model (hypothesis) that will then map new data to one of the
categories trained on.that will then map new data to one of the categories trained on.
• Prediction – Once our model is ready, it can be fed a set of inputs to which it will provide a
predicted output(label).

(b) Types of Machine Learning

• Supervised Learning – This involves learning from a training dataset with labeled data
using classification and regression models. This learning process continues until the
required level of performance is achieved.
• Unsupervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data and then finding the

underlying structure in the data to learn more and more about the data itself using factor

and cluster analysis models.

• Semi-supervised Learning – This involves using unlabelled data like Unsupervised

31
 Learning with a small amount of labeled data. Using labeled data vastly increases the
learning accuracy and is also more cost-effective than Supervised Learning.
• Reinforcement Learning – This involves learning optimal actions through trial and error.
So the next action is decided by learning behaviors that are based on the current state and
that will maximize the reward in the future.

Advantages of Machine learning:-

1. Easily identifies trends and patterns -

Machine Learning can review large volumes of data and discover specific trends and
patterns that would not be apparent to humans. For instance, an e-commerce website like
Amazon serves to understand the browsing behaviors and purchase histories of its users to
help cater to the right products, deals, and reminders relevant to them. It uses the results to
reveal relevant advertisements to them.

2. No human intervention needed (automation)

With ML, you don’t need to babysit your project every step of the way. Since it means
giving machines the ability to learn, it lets them make predictions and also improve the
algorithms on their own. A common example of this is anti-virus software; they learn to
filter new threats as they are recognized. ML is also good at recognizing spam.

3. Continuous Improvement

As ML algorithms gain experience, they keep improving in accuracy and efficiency. This
lets them make better decisions. Say you need to make a weather forecast model. As the
amount of data you have keeps growing, your algorithms learn to make more accurate
predictions faster.

4. Handling multi-dimensional and multi-variety data

Machine Learning algorithms are good at handling data that are multi-dimensional and multivariety,
and they can do this in dynamic or uncertain environments.

5. Wide Applications

You could be an e-tailer or a healthcare provider and make ML work for you. Where it does
32
apply, it holds the capability to help deliver a much more personal experience to customers
while also targeting the right customers.

Disadvantages of Machine Learning -

1. Data Acquisition

Machine Learning requires massive data sets to train on, and these should be
inclusive/unbiased and of good quality. There can also be times when they must wait for
new data to be generated.

2. Time and Resources

ML needs enough time to let the algorithms learn and develop enough to fulfill their purpose
with a considerable amount of accuracy and relevancy. It also needs massive resources to
function. This can mean additional requirements of computer power for you.

3. Interpretation of Results

Another major challenge is the ability to accurately interpret results generated by the algorithms . You
must also carefully choose the algorithms for your purpose.

4. High error-susceptibility

Machine Learning is autonomous but highly susceptible to errors. Suppose you train an
algorithm with data sets small enough to not be inclusive. You end up with biased
predictions coming from a biased training set. This leads to irrelevant advertisements being
displayed to customers. In the case of ML, such blunders can set off a chain of errors that
can go undetected for long periods when they do get noticed, it takes quite some time to
recognize the source of the issue, and even longer to correct it.

 Python Development Steps: -

Gui Van Rossum published the first version of Python code (version 0.9.0) at alt. so sources
in February 1991. This release included already exception handling, functions, and the core
data types of list, dict, str, and others. It was also object-oriented and had a module system.
Python version 1.0 was released in January 1994. The major new features included in this
release were the functional programming tools lambda, map, filter, and reduce, which
Guido Van Rossum never liked. Six and a half years later in October 2000, Python 2.0 was
introduced. This release included list comprehensions and a full garbage collector and it
supported unicode. Python flourished for another 8 years in version 2. before the next
major release P on 3.0 (also known as "Python 3000" and "Py3K") was released. Python 3
is not backward compatible with Python 2. x. The emphasis in Python 3 had been on the
removal of duplicate programming constructs and modules, thus fulfilling or coming close
to fulfilling the 13th law of the Zen of Python: "There should be one -- and preferably only
one -- obvious way to do it."Some changes in Python 7.3:This release included list

law of the Zen of Python: "There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way
to do it."Some changes in Python 7.3:

• Print is now a function

• Views and iterators instead of lists
• The rules for ordering comparisons have been simplified. E.g. a heterogeneous list cannot
be sorted, because all the elements of a list must be comparable to each other.
• There is only one integer type left, i.e. int. long is int as well.
• The division of two integers returns a float instead of an integer. "//" can be used to have
the "old" behavior.
• Text Vs. Data Instead Of Unicode Vs. 8-bit

Purpose: - We demonstrated that our approach enables successful segmentation of

34
 intraretinal layers—even with low-quality images containing speckle noise, low contrast,
and different intensity ranges throughout—with the assistance of the ANIS feature.

Python
Python is an interpreted high-level programming language for general-purpose
programming. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python has a
design philosophy that emphasizes code readability, notably using significant
whitespace.

Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. It

supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative,

.
functional, and procedural, and has a large and comprehensive standard library

• Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do not

need to compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL and PHP.

• Python is Interactive − you can sit at a Python prompt and interact with the interpreter
directly to write your programs.
Python also acknowledges that speed of development is important. Readable and terse
code is part of this, and so is access to powerful constructs that avoid tedious repetition
of code. Maintainability also ties into this may be an all but useless metric, but it does
say
something about how much code you have to scan, read, and/or understand to

troubleshoot problems or tweak behaviors. This speed of development, the ease with

which a programmer of other languages can pick up basic Python skills, and the huge

standard library are key to another area where Python excels. All its tools have been

quick to implement and saved a lot of time, and several of them have later been patched

and updated by people with no Python background - without breaking.

Pandas
Pandas is an open-source Python Library providing high-performance data manipulation
and analysis tools using its powerful data structures. Python was mainly used for data
munging and preparation. It had very little contribution towards data analysis. Pandas
solved this problem. Using Pandas, we can accomplish five typical steps in the processing
and analysis of data, regardless of the origin of the data load, prepare, manipulate, model,

6. SYSTEM TESTSYSTEM TEST

The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover every
45
conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the functionality
component of sub-assembles and/or a finished product It is the process of exercising software
with the intent of ensuring that the Software system meets its requirements and user
expectations and does blur. There are various types of tests. Each test type addresses a
specific testing requirement.Each test type addresses a specific testing requirement.

TYPES OF TESTS

Unit testing
Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal
program logic is functioning properly, and the program inputs produce valid outputs. All
decision branches and internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual
software units of the application .it done after the completion of an individual unit before
integration. This is a structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is
invasive. Unit tests perform basic tests at the component level and test a specific business
process, application, and/or system configuration. Unit tests ensure that each unique path of a
business process performs accurately to the documented specifications and contains clearly
defined inputs and expected results./or system configuration. Unit tests ensure that each
unique path of a business process performs accurately to the documented specifications and
contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.

Integration testing
Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to determine
run as one program. Testing is event-driven and is more concerned with the basic outcome of screens or
fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the components were individually satisfied shown by
successful unit testing, the combination of components is correct and consistent. Integration testing is
specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the combination of components.. Integration
testing is specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the combination of components.

Functional test
Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested are
available as specified by the business and technical requirements, system documentation, and
user manuals.
Functional testing is centered on the following items:
46
 Valid Input: identified classes of valid input must be accepted.

Invalid Input: identified classes of invalid input must be rejected.

Functions: identified functions must be exercised.

Output: identified classes of application outputs must be exercised.

Systems/Procedures: interfacing systems or procedures must be invoked.

Organization and preparation of functional tests are focused on requirements,

key functions, or special test cases. In addition, systematic coverage about identifying
Business process flows; data fields, predefined processes, and successive processes must be
considered for testing. Before functional testing is complete, additional tests are identified
and the effective value of current tests is determined.Before functional testing is complete,
additional tests are identified and the effective value of current tests is determined.

System Test
System testing ensures that the entire integrated software system meets
requirements. It tests a configuration to ensure known and predictable results. An example of
system testing is the configuration-oriented system integration test. System testing is based
on process descriptions and flows, emphasizing pre-driven process links and integration
points.

White Box Testing

White Box Testing is a testing in which the software tester knows the inner
workings, structure, and language of the software, or at least its purpose. It is purpose. It is
used to test areas that cannot be reached from a black box level.It is used to test areas that
cannot be reached from a black box level.

Black Box Testing

Black Box Testing is testing the software without any knowledge of the inner
workings, structure, or language of the module being tested. Black box tests, like most other
kinds of tests, must be written from a definitive source document, such as specification or
requirements document, such as specification or requirements document. It is a testing in
which the software under test is treated, as a black box You cannot “see” into it. The test
47
provides inputs and responds to outputs without considering how the software works.The test
provides inputs and responds to outputs without considering how the software works.

Unit Testing

Unit testing is usually conducted as part of a combined code and unit test
phase of the software lifecycle, although it is not uncommon for coding and unit testing to be
conducted as two distinct phases.

Test strategy and approach

Field testing will be performed manually and functional tests will be written in detail.

Test objectives
• All field entries must work properly.
• Pages must be activated from the identified link.
• The entry screen, messages, and responses must not be delayed..

Features to be tested

• Verify that the entries are of the correct format

• No duplicate entries should be allowed
• All links should take the user to the correct page.

Integration Testing
Software integration testing is the incremental integration testing of two or
more integrated software components on a single platform to produce failures caused by
interface defects.

48
The task of the integration test is to check that components or software applications, e.g.
components in a software system or – one step up – software applications at the company
level – interact without error.

Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects were encountered.

Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant participation
by the end user. It also ensures that the system meets the functional requirements.

Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects were encountered.

 8. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
8.1 Conclusion
An increasing death rate due to heart disease is a cause of concern for every
citizen. Also, the increase in population decreases the efficiency of hospitals
in giving timely treatment. Therefore this calls for an immediate solution. It
used machine learning models such as RF, NB, DT, etc. It is possible to
detect when a patient has a heart-related problem. To reduce the over-fitting
of the models, we created synthetic data. We analyzed the dataset completely,
cleaned the data, and generated a new feature, BMI, to improve our model’s
performance. The Gradient Boosting Classifier performed best in terms of a
train score of 80.29% in training accuracy score, and the ML algorithm works
best in terms of the test score, i.e. 72.68%.

8.2 Future Enhancement:

In the future, we can implement multiple feature selection techniques that

extract optimal features to develop models and design an application using
real-time data from hospitals that will help doctors recognize heart disease.
