Abstract

The prompt identification of strokes is a crucial medical concern that is addressed in this study. The biggest contributor to mortality and disability globally is stroke. We use feature selection methods and machine learning techniques to build prediction models to solve this issue. We investigate the efficiency of Boruta, SelectKBest, and Exhaustive Feature Selection models in enhancing stroke prediction accuracy. Throughout this research, we employed four distinct machine-learning algorithms and one deep-learning model, including XGBoost, AdaBoost, Random Forest (RF), LightGBM, and Artificial neural networks, to estimate numerous parameters such as accuracy, recall, ROC, precision, and F1 score. Our research shows that the AdaBoost classifier has a high promise for early stroke identification and treatment, with an accuracy of 0.991689. This study advances the field of stroke prediction while also emphasizing the value of feature selection in improving the effectiveness of the machine learning algorithms used in applications related to healthcare.
