Problem Statement

This document describes a capstone project to predict heart disease using medical data. The data contains information on 76 attributes for patients but the analysis will focus on 14 attributes including age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol, and electrocardiographic results. The goal is to preprocess the data, explore relationships between variables, build classification models to predict presence of heart disease, interpret the most influential variables, evaluate model performance, and report key findings and feature importance.

Capstone Project : 07

Problem statement:

Heart disease has been a major problem in the recent times. It is no longer true that only older
people are more prone to the disease. Your objective is to predict

Data Description:

This database contains 76 attributes, but all published experiments refer to using a subset of 14 of
them. The ‘num’ feature indicates the presence of heart disease.

Attribute Information:

age: age in years


sex: sex (1 = male; 0 = female)
cp: chest pain type
-- Value 1: typical angina
-- Value 2: atypical angina
-- Value 3: non-anginal pain
-- Value 4: asymptomatic
trestbps: resting blood pressure (in mm Hg on admission to the hospital)
chol: serum cholestoral in mg/dl
fbs: (fasting blood sugar > 120 mg/dl) (1 = true; 0 = false)
restecg: resting electrocardiographic results
-- Value 0: normal
-- Value 1: having ST-T wave abnormality (T wave inversions and/or ST elevation or
depression of > 0.05 mV)
-- Value 2: showing probable or definite left ventricular hypertrophy by Estes' criteria
thalach: maximum heart rate achieved
exang: exercise induced angina (1 = yes; 0 = no)
oldpeak = ST depression induced by exercise relative to rest
slope: the slope of the peak exercise ST segment
-- Value 1: upsloping
-- Value 2: flat
-- Value 3: downsloping
ca: number of major vessels (0-3) colored by flourosopy
thal: 3 = normal; 6 = fixed defect; 7 = reversable defect
num: diagnosis of heart disease (angiographic disease status)
-- Value 0: < 50% diameter narrowing
-- Value 1: > 50% diameter narrowing

Instructions:

1. Perform the required data pre-processing to treat for missing values and outliers.
2. Perform exploratory data analysis to visualise the spread of each of the X variables and the
relationship between the various X variables and the Y variable
3. Divide the given data into train and test sets
4. Predict how presence of heart disease by building classification models
5. Interpret how each of the X variables influence the conversion propensity
6. Evaluate the model performance measures and choose the most optimum model
7. Enlist your key findings based on the most optimum model and the respective feature
importance
