MLR Classification using WEKA Java Code

MLR is short form for Multinomial Logistic Regression algorithm. Multinomial logistic regression is known by a variety of other names, including softmax regression, multiclass LR, multinomial logit, polytomous LR, conditional maximum entropy model and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) classifier. Multinomial logistic regression is a classification method that generalizes logistic regression to multiclass problems, i.e. with more than two possible discrete outcomes. That is, it is a model that is used to predict the probabilities of the different possible outcomes of a categorically distributed dependent variable, given a set of independent variables (which may be real-valued, binary-valued, categorical-valued, etc.).

Requirements:

=============

2 Jar Files

 --> weka-3.7.1-beta.jar

 --> weka-3.7.3.jar

2 Datasets

 --> ClevelandHeartDiseaseTrainingDataset.arff

 --> ClevelandHeartDiseaseTestingDataset.arff

How to Implement:

=================

ClevelandHeartDiseaseTrainingDataset.arff contains lot of patients Health Records. It has 5 attributes and 1 class attribute.

  1) sex: patient sex (1 = male, 0 = female), 

  2) cp: chest pain type (1 = typical angina, 2 = atypical angina, 3 = non-anginal pain, 4 = asymptomatic), 

  3) slope: the slope of the peak exercise ST segment (1 = upsloping, 2 = flat, 3 = downsloping)

  4) ca: number of major vessels (0-3) colored by flourosopy

  5) thal: (3 = normal, 6 = fixed defect, 7 = reversable defect)

  6) class: (0 = no heart disease, 1 = presence of heart disease)

  

This Classification Algorithm classify this training dataset. After Classification, it generate some classification rules. Followed by, this algorithm load ClevelandHeartDiseaseTestingDataset.arff. This testing dataset contains 5 attributes with one class attribute. This class attribute contains (?) question mark. Because we predict each testing record is possible to presence of heart disease or not. Then this classification algorithm predicts each records class attribute value based on classification rules (It is generated after Training Process).
