TLDR
A survey of current techniques of knowledge discovery in databases using data mining techniques that are in use in today’s medical research particularly in Heart Disease Prediction reveals that Decision Tree outperforms and some time Bayesian classification is having similar accuracy as of decision tree but other predictive methods are not performing well.
Abstract
The successful application of data mining in highly visible fields like e-business, marketing and retail has led to its application in other industries and sectors. Among these sectors just discovering is healthcare. The healthcare environment is still „information rich‟ but „knowledge poor‟. There is a wealth of data available within the healthcare systems. However, there is a lack of effective analysis tools to discover hidden relationships and trends in data. This research paper intends to provide a survey of current techniques of knowledge discovery in databases using data mining techniques that are in use in today‟s medical research particularly in Heart Disease Prediction. Number of experiment has been conducted to compare the performance of predictive data mining technique on the same dataset and the outcome reveals that Decision Tree outperforms and some time Bayesian classification is having similar accuracy as of decision tree but other predictive methods like KNN, Neural Networks, Classification based on clustering are not performing well. The second conclusion is that the accuracy of the Decision Tree and Bayesian Classification further improves after applying genetic algorithm to reduce the actual data size to get the optimal subset of attribute sufficient for heart disease prediction.

Fast algorithms for mining association rules

TL;DR: Two new algorithms for solving thii problem that are fundamentally different from the known algorithms are presented and empirical evaluation shows that these algorithms outperform theknown algorithms by factors ranging from three for small problems to more than an order of magnitude for large problems.

Integrating classification and association rule mining

TL;DR: The integration is done by focusing on mining a special subset of association rules, called class association rules (CARs), and shows that the classifier built this way is more accurate than that produced by the state-of-the-art classification system C4.5.

CMAR: accurate and efficient classification based on multiple class-association rules

TL;DR: The authors propose a new associative classification method, CMAR, i.e., Classification based on Multiple Association Rules, which extends an efficient frequent pattern mining method, FP-growth, constructs a class distribution-associated FP-tree, and mines large databases efficiently.
