| Abstract | Data mining on clinical data is a challenging area in the field of medical research, aiming at predicting and discovering patterns of disease occurrence and prognosis based on detected symptoms and reported health conditions. Data mining is the process of recovering related, significant and imperative information from a copious collection of comprehensive data. The main focus of this paper is to highlight the significance of machine learning and data mining techniques on classifying clinical datasets downloaded from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Machine Learning Repository viz, Mammography masses, Orthopaedic (Vertebral Column) ailments, Dermatology infection, SPECTF (Single Proton Emission Computed Tomography) Heart and Thyroid diseases. We have made a careful selection of clinical data from various domains in order to identify the performance of the data mining algorithms on different types of clinical datasets. Our research work incorporates the design of a data mining framework that generates an efficient classifier that is trained on all the clinical datasets stated, by learning patterns and rules framed by executing classification algorithms. This enables the formulation of precise and accurate decisions to classify an unseen medical test data in the related field. Our results validate and confirm that Quinlan's C4.5 classification algorithm and the Random Tree algorithm yield 100 percent classification accuracy on SPECTF Heart, Orthopaedic (Vertebral Column) ailments, Thyroid and Dermatology infection datasets while Binary Logistic Regression and CS-MC4 also give 100 percent classifier accuracy on the SPECTF Heart Dataset and Multinomial Logistic Regression too classifies the Dermatology dataset with 100 percent accuracy. However on the Mammography training dataset, the classification accuracy produced by Random Tree and Quinlan's C4.5 is only 91.36%. We modify the parameters that control the decision tree size and the confidence level to achieve 100 percent classifier accuracy. The Decision tree generated by the Quinlan's C4.5 algorithm is smaller than the decision tree given by the Random Tree classification technique. Our research states that the Quinlan's C4.5 algorithm is most efficient in building a classifier trained on clinical datasets from diverse domains that could provide 100 percent classifier accuracy on a previously unseen test data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
