Robust Data Preprocessing and Model Application
Our predictive analytics approach began with meticulous data preprocessing using the Pima Indians Diabetes dataset (768 rows, 8 features). Key steps included transforming zero values in 'skin thickness' and 'insulin' to their respective means for better representation and applying StandardScaler for feature scaling across BMI, insulin, and glucose to prevent range-based biases. The dataset was then split into 80% for training and 20% for testing to ensure rigorous model evaluation.

Comparative Performance of ML Models
We evaluated four machine learning algorithms—Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—for their effectiveness in predicting diabetes. Performance was measured using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Random Forest emerged as the top-performing model, showcasing its robust capability in handling complex medical datasets.
| Algorithm | Accuracy | Precision | Recall | F1-Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logistic Regression | 76.5% | 0.78 | 0.76 | 0.77 |
| Decision Tree | 72.4% | 0.74 | 0.72 | 0.73 |
| Random Forest | 80.2% | 0.82 | 0.80 | 0.81 |
| Support Vector Machine | 77.8% | 0.79 | 0.77 | 0.78 |

Addressing Limitations and Charting the Future of AI in Diabetes
Our study identified several challenges, including working with an unbalanced dataset (more non-diabetic than diabetic patients), which can bias model predictions. The relatively small dataset size and the inherent complexity of models like Random Forest and SVM also pose limitations in terms of generalizability and interpretability.
Future research will focus on overcoming these limitations by employing techniques like SMOTE for class imbalance, utilizing significantly larger and more diverse datasets, and exploring advanced machine learning algorithms, particularly deep learning models, for enhanced forecasting capabilities. Furthermore, incorporating feature selection methods like RFE will improve model interpretability.
Overcoming Data Imbalance in Predictive Models
A significant challenge identified was the presence of unbalanced data, where the dataset contained more instances of non-diabetic patients than diabetic ones. This imbalance can lead to models biased towards the majority class, reducing predictive accuracy for the minority (diabetic) class.
To mitigate this, advanced techniques like SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique) are crucial. Implementing SMOTE generates synthetic samples for the minority class, ensuring a more balanced dataset and significantly improving the model's ability to accurately identify positive cases of diabetes.
