Abstract

The breakthrough in the field of intelligent systems has spread its fruits to the field of biomedical engineering as well; where a series of models are being applied to automatically detect diseases based on some parameters or inputs. The continuous research in this field has resulted in a large amount of database being created for many diseases which becomes very difficult to train. Also the number of attributes is under constant rise. This increases the dimensionality of the problem and ultimately leads to poor performance. In this chapter we deal with the methods to handle these situations. We discuss the mechanism to divide data between different sub-systems. We also discuss the method of division of the attributes to reduce the training time and complexity. The resultant systems are able to train better due to low computational cost and hence give better performance. We validated this with the Breast Cancer database from the UCI Machine Learning repository and found our algorithm optimal.
