Heart Disease Prediction

This project aims to explore and build machine learning models for predicting heart disease conditions based on various health-related features. The dataset used in this project is the Cleveland Heart Disease dataset, obtained from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

Project Description

Heart disease is a prevalent and severe health issue worldwide. This project explores various techniques to analyze and predict heart disease conditions using machine learning models. The primary objective is to develop models that can accurately classify individuals as having or not having heart disease based on their health features. The project involves data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and model building. Various classification algorithms, such as logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbors, decision trees, naive Bayes, random forests, and support vector machines, are implemented and evaluated.

Tech Stack and Algorithms

To run this project, you'll need the following dependencies:
