Background and Aim: Timely diagnosis and treatment of abnormal thyroid function can reduce the mortality associated with this disease. However, lack of timely diagnosis will have irreversible complications for the patient. Using data mining techniques, the aim of this study is to determine the status of the thyroid gland in terms of normality, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
Materials and Methods: Using supervised and unsupervised methods after data preprocessing, predictive modeling was performed to classify thyroid disease. This is an analytical study and its dataset contains 215 independent records based on 5 continuous features retrieved from the UCI machine learning data reference.
Results: In supervised method, multilayer perception(MLP), learning vector quantization(LVQ), and fuzzy neural network(FNN) were used; and in unsupervised method, fuzzy clustering was employed. Besides, these precision figures(0.055, 0.274, 0.012 and 1.031) were obtained by root mean square error(RMSE) method, respectively.
Conclusion: Reducing the diagnosis error of thyroid disease was one of the goals of researchers. Using data mining techniques can help reduce this error. In this study, thyroid disease was diagnosed by different pattern recognition methods. The results show that the fuzzy neural network(FNN) has the least error rate and the highest accuracy.
