Recursive Feature Elimination with Ridge Regression (L2) Machine Learning Hybrid Feature Selection Algorithm for Diabetic Prediction using Random Forest Classifer.

: In day today life, diabetes illness is increasing in count due to the body not able to metabolize the glucose level. The prediction of the right diabetes patients is an important research area that many researchers are proposing the techniques to predict this disease through data mining and machine learning methods. In prediction, feature selection is one of the key concept in preprocessing so that the features that are relevant to the disease will be used for prediction. This will improve the prediction accuracy. Selecting right features among the whole feature set is a complicated process and many researchers are concentrating on it to produce the predictive model with high accuracy. In this proposed work, the wrapper based feature selection method called Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) is combined with Ridge regression (L2) to form a hybrid L2 regulated feature selection algorithm to overcome the overfilling problem of the data set. Over fitting is the major problem in feature selection which means that the new data are not fit to the model since the training data is small. Ridge regression is mainly used to overcome the overfitting problem. Once the features are


INTRODUCTION:
Supervised learning methods can be divided into classification and regression problems. The continuous problem can be predicted easily using regression method. The dataset is collection of information with samples and parameters. If we have fewer samples with more number of parameters the ridge regression can be efficiently used to get best solution. Its important to understand bias and variance in machine learning context. Bias is model plots the inline nearby samples. The differences between datasets are fits is called variance. If the lines in graph are squiggly proceeds then it is said to be high variance and if line proceeds in straight then it is said to be low variance. When we introduce sum of square in linear regression then it is said to ridge regression. Some feature based model is trained in machine learning algorithms [16]. Accuracy of selecting the feature for new data is very less. The main problems in new data is underfitting and overfitting.

PROBLEM FORMULATION
When the training model is fitted with huge data features, then the model gets overfitting problem. Model is trained with less data features, then the machine learning will be biased [17,18]. It leads to underfitting problem. If the model is trained with more number of features then the high variance will be come into picture. It leads to less efficiency in identification of suitable model. This problem is defined as overfitting. This is a high model issue. Problem in few data feature processing to train the model leads to predict wrong unknown data as shown in figure a. some feature selection models are suggested to reduce underfitting model [19,20].
Two terms bias and variance come into overfitting and underfitting model is explained in figure   1(a,b,c) . Bias is a process used to match the correct value by calculating the differences. Variance is the prediction model for given features at various realization views.
Further over fitting model can be overcome by selecting more features and bias function. High bias machine learning algorithms requires to solve the problems. In our article, we combine ridge regression with recursive feature elimination model to reduce the overfitting problems. When training error is less than testing error, then there is overfitting problem. The conventional methods L1,L2 regularization are used to minimize overfitting problems. But the outcome efficiency is very less. To improve the accuracy of the feature selection we merge recursive feature elimination model with L2 regularization. Then the output feature is further classified using random forest algorithm.
The remaining section of the paper is organized as following: chapter 2 studied about literature survey of existing implementations. Chapter 3 explains about proposed model in the article. Next chapter 4 discusses about the outcome of our proposed research model. Finally chapter 5 concludes the work.

Literature Review
The paper [1] listed the survey on feature selection algorithms such as K-NN, K means, Naïve Bayes etc., This paper use the common diabetic data set and the results of the algorithms are analyzed and they suggested the best algorithm based on the performance accuracy. As a survey result, they conclude that Branch ad Bound algorithm gives high level of accuracy compared to the other eight algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, SVM, C4.5, kNN, K means, Randomized Hill climb and Simulated Annealing.
A survey of various feature selection methods are listed in paper [2]. This paper introduced feature selection based on Genetic Algorithm to detect and diagnose the biological issues. This paper gave detailed description about the types of feature selection algorithms such as filter based, wrapper and embedded feature selection algorithms. They experimented the result of the algorithms on five bench mark datasets from UCI repository. They conclude that among the three feature selection method wrapper based methods are perform well to reduce the features. This paper also discuss about the challenges in feature selection.
The paper [3] proposed a feature selection algorithm based on L1 (Lasso) and classification on microarray cancer data by the use of Random Forest. They experimented the proposed algorithm on eight standard dataset of microarray cancer dataset. The learning proficiency of the classifier is explored using the learning curve model called fivefold cross validation during the training phase.
The comparative result of the proposed shows the best accuracy level than the recent research works. The evaluation is performed with the help of the accuracy, recall, precision, f measure and confusion matrix.
The objective of the paper [4] is to propose a prediction model with high sensitivity and selectivity.

DATASET EVALUATION
The proposed work on hybrid L2 regulated Recursive Feature Elimination based feature selection on diabetes prediction using random forest classification is experimented in Pima Indians Diabetes Data Set (PIDD) data set. Which is open source data set available in UCI repository [5]. The data set consist of 768 samples including one class attribute to indicate the diabetes positive and negative. There are 267 positive samples and 500 negative samples in the data set. The attributes are shown in Table 1  Annealing and Randomized Hill Climb. The selected attributes of each algorithm is listed in Table   2.

Experimental Results:

The proposed algorithm selects 2 attributes such as DPF and blood glucose level. This is compared with the same proposed with one attribute called blood glucose level. The pictorial representation is shown in Fig 5.  The comparative result with existing algorithms is shown in Table 4. Based on the selected attributes of each algorithm the results are compared using the metrics. The resultant pictorial representation is shown in Fig 7. In all the cases, our proposed algorithm obtains Sensitivity as 100%, Specificity as 97%, Accuracy as 100%, MCC as 86%, Precision as 100%,Recall as 91%, F Measure as 92% and AUC as 0.97. The next best method after our proposed is Branch and Bound with the accuracy of 96%.  Elimination. The selected suitable features are then classified using Random forest classifier for classification. Hence, our proposed algorithm utilize best suitable features with best classification algorithm on PIDD data set to predict the diabetes disease.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK:
Feature selection is very challenging research area recently focused in big data, data mining etc. it is concluded that our proposed L2-RFE model produce high accuracy than comparing with existing models like SVM , KNN etc. L1 regularization does not have analytical solution where as L2 processes have analytical calculation. Recursive feature elimination helps to eliminate the worst unfit data from the feature data. It loops still it find the best solution and feature selection. Output feature is further classified by random forest classifier algorithm for getting best accuracy in feature selection. In future different machine learning algorithms can be implemented with L2 for accurate feature selection process.
