Study of Classification Techniques on Medical Datasets

Medical science is using digital equipment and generates and gathers large volume of data. These medical datasets are analyzed to get useful information which helps in making decision about diagnosis and treatment. Data mining techniques solve the problem of knowledge extraction from databases from different sources. Several data mining methodologies like Classification, Clustering are used to analyze the data. Classification is a technique used in prediction and to classify the unknown data to a class. This paper presents a study of application of classification algorithms on different kinds of medical datasets.
