Heart Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning and Big Data Stack - DZone Big Data

The combination of big data and machine learning is a revolutionary technology that can make a great impact on any industry if used in a proper way. In the field of healthcare it has great usage in cases like early disease detection, finding signs of early breakouts of epidemics, using clustering to figure out regions of epidemics (e.g. In this article, I have tried to explore the prediction of the existence of heart disease by using standard machine learning algorithms, and the big data toolset like Apache Spark, parquet, Spark mllib, and Spark SQL. The source code of this article is available on GitHub here. Also, you can check out the entire eclipse project from here.
