| description | Thyroid disease is characterized by abnormal development of glandular tissue on the periphery of the thyroid gland. Thyroid disease occurs when this gland produces an abnormally high or low level of hormones, with hyperthyroidism (active thyroid gland) and hypothyroidism (inactive thyroid gland) being the two most common types. The purpose of this work was to create an efficient homogeneous ensemble of ensembles in conjunction with numerous feature-selection methodologies for the improved detection of thyroid disorder. The dataset employed is based on real-time thyroid information obtained from the District Head Quarter (DHQ) teaching hospital, Dera Ghazi (DG) Khan, Pakistan. Following the necessary preprocessing steps, three types of attribute-selection strategies; Select From Model (SFM), Select K-Best (SKB), and Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) were used. Decision Tree (DT), Gradient Boosting (GB), Logistic Regression (LR), and Random Forest (RF) classifiers were used as promising feature estimators. The homogeneous ensembling activated the bagging- and boosting-based classifiers, which were then classified by the Voting ensemble using both soft and hard voting. Accuracy, sensitivity, mean square error, hamming loss, and other performance assessment metrics have been adopted. The experimental results indicate the optimum applicability of the proposed strategy for improved thyroid ailment identification. All of the employed approaches achieved 100% accuracy with a small feature set. In terms of accuracy and computational cost, the presented findings outperformed similar benchmark models in its domain. |
