abstract = "Research in medical data prediction has become an
important classification problem due to its domain
specificity, voluminous, and class imbalanced nature.
In this chapter, four well-known nature-inspired
algorithms, namely genetic algorithms (GA), genetic
programming (GP), particle swarm optimization (PSO),
and ant colony optimization (ACO), are used for feature
selection in order to enhance the classification
performances of medical data using Bayesian classifier.
Naive Bayes is most widely used Bayesian classifier in
automatic medical diagnostic tools. In total, 12
real-world medical domain data sets are selected from
the University of California, Irvine (UCI repository)
for conducting the experiment. The experimental results
demonstrate that nature-inspired Bayesian model plays
an effective role in undertaking medical data
prediction.",
