Computational way of Classifying Thyroid Disorder Patients and Identifying the Similar Patients using a Novel Method

Abstract

The thyroid hormones secreted by thyroid gland are interrelated with many metabolic processes of our body. Any dysfunction of thyroid gland leads to thyroid diseases. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are the very common thyroid disorders which affect the large number of people nowadays. Prediction of thyroid diseases at right time and giving suitable medicines to the patients help them to overcome the health problems. A machine learning technique will definitely assist the physicians for the prediction and treatment of thyroid diseases. In this work, the datasets are taken from UCI repository and Fuzzy- C Means algorithm is used for the clustering the thyroid diseases.
