- Abstract
- It is well known that classification models produced by the Ripple Down Rules are easier to maintain and update. They are compact and can provide an explanation of their reasoning making them easy to understand for medical practitioners. This article is devoted to an empirical investigation and comparison of several ensemble methods based on Ripple Down Rules in a novel application for the detection of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) from an extensive data set collected by the Diabetes Complications Screening Research Initiative at Charles Sturt University. Our experiments included essential ensemble methods, several more recent state-of-the-art techniques, and a novel consensus function based on graph partitioning. The results show that our novel application of Ripple Down Rules in ensemble classifiers for the detection of CAN achieved better performance parameters compared with the outcomes obtained previously in the literature.
