Abstract

In recent decades, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been extensively applied in different areas such as engineering, medicine, business, education, manufacturing and so on. Nowadays, ANNs are as a hot research in medicine especially in the fields of medical disease diagnosis. To have a high efficiency in ANN, selection of an appropriate architecture and learning algorithm is very important. ANN learning is a complex task and an efficient learning algorithm has a significant role to enhance ANN performance. In this paper, a new meta-heuristic algorithm, centripetal accelerated particle swarm optimization (CAPSO), is applied to evolve the ANN learning and accuracy. The algorithm is based on an improved scheme of particle swarm algorithm and Newton’s laws of motion. The hybrid learning of CAPSO and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) network, CAPSO-MLP, is used to classify the data of nine standard medical datasets of Hepatitis, Heart Disease, Pima Indian Diabetes, Wisconsin Prognostic Breast Cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Echocardiogram, Liver Disorders, Laryngeal 1 and Acute Inflammations. The performance of CAPSO-MLP is compared with those of PSO, gravitational search algorithm and imperialist competitive algorithm on MLP. The efficiency of methods are evaluated based on mean square error, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, area under the receiver operating characteristics curve and statistical tests of t-test and Wilcoxon’s signed ranks test. The results indicate that CAPSO-MLP provides more effective performance than the others for medical disease diagnosis especially in term of unseen data (testing data) and datasets with high missing data values.
