【 摘 要 】

Thyroid disorder is a major public health problem. Early detection of thyroid disorder is anincreasingly important area in the field of medical diagnosis, pattern recognition, machinelearning and data mining. Thyroid disorder, either over production (hyperthyroidism) or lessproduction (hypothyroidism) results in imbalanced state of thyroid hormone stimulation inhuman beings. So, controlling this disorder has become a central issue in healthcare and needsgreat attention. This research critically examines different classification models constructedusing a novel mathematical ranked improved F-score ordering (RIFO) applied to thyroiddataset taken from machine learning repository, University of California, Irvine. A total ofnine possible and effective feature subsets have been constructed and each subset is testedwith three most benchmarked algorithms namely C4.5, multilayer perceptron (MLP) andradial basis function network (RBFN) using tenfold cross-validation and various training-testpartitions. The obtained results show diverse conclusions, but one with interesting and highestaccuracy has been presented. From the results, it is observed that MLP has emerged with anoutstanding performance of 98.15%, which is greater than all earlier research. The dataset has3 classes, 5 features and 215 records (hypo=30, hyper=35, normal=150).
