Succinct Differentiation of Disparate Boosting Ensemble Learning Methods for Prognostication of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Diagnosis
This work addresses the diagnosis of PCOS, a medical issue affecting women aged 15-49, by applying existing machine learning methods to a new dataset, making it incremental in nature.
The paper compared four boosting ensemble methods (Adaptive Boost, Gradient Boosting Machine, XGBoost, and CatBoost) for diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) using clinical data, achieving performance metrics such as F1 score and AUC to highlight data anomalies and their effects on results.
Prognostication of medical problems using the clinical data by leveraging the Machine Learning techniques with stellar precision is one of the most important real world challenges at the present time. Considering the medical problem of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome also known as PCOS is an emerging problem in women aged from 15 to 49. Diagnosing this disorder by using various Boosting Ensemble Methods is something we have presented in this paper. A detailed and compendious differentiation between Adaptive Boost, Gradient Boosting Machine, XGBoost and CatBoost with their respective performance metrics highlighting the hidden anomalies in the data and its effects on the result is something we have presented in this paper. Metrics like Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, F1 Score, FPR, RoC Curve and AUC have been used in this paper.
