In this paper, we propose five data fusion schemes for the Internet of Things (IoT) scenario,which are Relief and Perceptron (Re-P), Relief and Genetic Algorithm Particle Swarm Optimization (Re-GAPSO), Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (GA-ANN), Rough and Perceptron (Ro-P)and Rough and GAPSO (Ro-GAPSO). All the schemes consist of four stages, including preprocessingthe data set ba...

The overuse of some screening and diagnostic tests is an important component of unnecessary health care costs.
