Using Artificial Neural Network in Diagnosis of Thyroid Disease: a Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, one of the main issues to create challenges in medicine sciences by developing technology is the disease diagnosis with high accuracy. In the recent decades, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are considered as the best solutions to achieve this goal and involve in widespread researches to diagnose the diseases. In this paper, we consider a Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) ANN using back propagation learning algorithm to classify Thyroid disease. It consists of an input layer with 5 neurons, a hidden layer with 6 neurons and an output layer with just 1 neuron. The suitable selection of activation function and the number of neurons in the hidden layer and also the number of layers are achieved using test and error method. Our simulation results indicate that the performed optimization in MLP ANNs can be reached the accuracy level to 98.6%.
