Abstract

 

This study investigates the availability of rule induction algorithms (PART, J48, JRip) for the evaluation of death risk in hepaptitis based on a clinical database. Simple rules that are derived can be practically used to determine risk of death due to hepatitis. The results are quite satisfactory, where an accuracy of 84.5% is obtained for the prediction of death risk in hepatitis.

 

Key words. Hepatitis, rule induction algorithms, PART, J48, JRip, death risk.
