Clinical diagnosis processes can result in many cases very complicated. A misdiagnosis is expensive and potentially life-threatening for patients. Diagnosis problems are mainly in the scope of the classification problems. Multi-classifier approaches can improve accuracy in classification task. In this work, we propose Multi-classifier approaches based on dynamic classifier selection techniques. These approaches have been tested on datasets known in the literature and representative of important diagnostic problems. Experimental results show that a suitable pool of different classifiers increases accuracy in classification task. This suggests that the proposed approaches can improve performance of diagnostic decision support systems.

Abstract

Clinical diagnosis processes can result in many cases very complicated. A misdiagnosis is expensive and potentially life-threatening for patients. Diagnosis problems are mainly in the scope of the classification problems. Multi-classifier approaches can improve accuracy in classification task. In this work, we propose Multi-classifier approaches based on dynamic classifier selection techniques. These approaches have been tested on datasets known in the literature and representative of important diagnostic problems. Experimental results show that a suitable pool of different classifiers increases accuracy in classification task. This suggests that the proposed approaches can improve performance of diagnostic decision support systems.
