1. INTRODUCTION
The heart is a vital organ that is also known as the "centrality of the human body" since it is
responsible for supplying blood to all of the other organs and when it is unable to fulfill these duties, a person
may pass away instantly. According to study, the majority of adults who are susceptible to heart-related
disorders have unhealthy eating habits, mental stress, despair, and excessive work hours. These factors are
also present in those who have heart failure [1]. Heart failure is essentially a disorder where the heart is
unable to adequately pump blood to the body's organs. This typically happens as a result of diseases like
diabetes, hypertension, or other heart ailments like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), thyroid disorders,
alcoholism, or genetic diseases [2]. When the heart's muscles deteriorate, the heart's ability to pump blood is
restricted [3]. It is significant to mention that one of the most prevalent ailments among middle-aged persons
is heart disease [4]. As confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO) [3], cardiovascular disease
(CVD), a condition affecting the heart and blood vessels, is responsible for 31% of annual deaths. Therefore,
in order to be able to give the proper treatment process and save the lives of many patients, it is essential to
recognize the condition early and precisely [5]. Medical professionals have effectively used machine learning
algorithms like principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM) to assist in the
diagnosis of a variety of disorders including diabetes and heart failure. Researchers have also used artificial
neural networks (ANN) in the medical field [6].

Additionally, a significant part in obtaining useful information from massive data is played by data
mining. It is extensively employed in practically all spheres of life, including business, engineering, medical,
and education. Data mining is employed to examine data by minimizing mistakes in forecasts and factual
outcomes, several machine learning algorithms have been used to comprehend the intricacy and non-linear
interactions between diverse components [7]. Additionally, this prospective strategy opens a significantly
better resource window, improving the sensitivity and specificity of disease detection and diagnosis [8].
Machine learning algorithms are required as medical data keeps growing in order to help the medical team
analyze data and make precise and accurate diagnostic conclusions [9]. To forecast cardiovascular disease in
patients and cardiac death, many classification algorithms are utilized in medical data mining [10].
Machine learning algorithms typically handle research prediction and classification tasks that use
ready-to-use data sets. Researchers have tried a variety of methods to increase the precision of data
classification to locate possible patients [11]. In this work, a machine learning system was used to classify
conditions of death from heart disease in accordance with measurement results and life information gathered
from individuals. One application of labeled data in supervised learning is classification. A new class of
predictions is created by category class, and label class after classification splits the dataset into training and test
data. One method that is quite well-known in classification is random forest [12]. Ho originally put forth the
random forest algorithm in 1995, and claims that the algorithm can achieve greater accuracy without overtraining if
the decision tree can recognize skewed hyperplanes [13]. The underlying algorithm's "randomness" is a
requirement for the random forest algorithm's improved accuracy. The random forest technique, which integrates
genetic algorithms, will be used in this study to pick features for categorizing heart failure. The primary goal of this
work is to overcome the issue of dataset imbalance and choose feature selection to obtain more accuracy. To do
this, we will employ the random forest algorithm and genetic algorithm as machine feature selection to predict the
survival of heart failure patients suitable in comparison to earlier studies.

2. METHOD
The data mining paradigm, which describes the process of looking for or mining knowledge, is the
foundation of this research which optimization function based on the random forest algorithm. The genetic
algorithm will search the "heart failure clinical record dataset" using this objective function to uncover
significant features. Figure 1 shows the overall progression of this study.

2.1. Problem identification

The aim of this study is to create a reliable predictive model for heart failure patients. The
researchers will use a random forest algorithm to predict patient survival and a genetic algorithm as a feature
selection technique to achieve this goal. The accuracy of the model is expected to increase significantly by
selecting the most important features. Accurate heart failure classification is essential for early diagnosis of
heart failure and appropriate treatment of heart failure, and this study has the potential to contribute to better
clinical records and, as a result, better patient outcomes. Overall, this study has the potential to improve
clinical decision making for heart failure patients and advance our understanding of prediction of survival in
heart failure patients.

2.2. Dataset
The dataset is the primary component that will be analyzed using an algorithm in order to perform
research. Heart failure clinical records data from the UCI repository website were the dataset used in this
investigation. The collection includes the medical histories of 299 patients with heart conditions. 194 males
and 105 females were found in the 299 records (older than 40). In the target class, there were 203 survivors
(incidence of death=0), compared to 96 fatalities (incidence of death=1). In terms of statistics, there were
67.89% negative and 32.11% positive. The dataset was published in 2020 with 13 features with 299 events of
class_death, the information shown in Table 1.

2.3. Pre-processing
Data preprocessing for data mining is the collection of approaches utilized prior to the use of data
mining methods, and it is acknowledged as one of the most important difficulties in the renowned knowledge
discovery of data processing [14]. Data cannot be applied directly to begin the data mining process since it is
likely incomplete, inconsistent, and redundant. More complex analysis methods are required when data
collection scales up. Preprocessing data enables the processing of data that would not otherwise be possible
by adjusting the data to the constraints set by the different data mining algorithms [15].

2.4. The comparison algorithm

Classification and supervised machine learning models were applied to forecast results from the
data. This study proposes a method for heart disease prediction employing a classification method and an
ensemble of classifiers to increase classification accuracy. Individual classifiers were trained using a train set
after the data were split into a training set and a test set. Using test data, classifier effectiveness is evaluated [9].
This study tested some of the most frequently used algorithms such as K-nearest neighbors, support vector
machine, random forest, neural network, Naïve Bayes, and decision tree.

2.5. Random forest

Scientists are aware of any modifications to genes' DNA that occur in any particular disease [16]. As
a result, it will be exceedingly challenging to identify the symptoms caused by these alterations, particularly
in heart failure. Finding information is done through classification [17]. Random forest is one of the
techniques used to categorize the "heart failure clinical record dataset" dataset. Every sample set builds a
decision tree with attributes chosen at random [18]. The random forest is a combination of classifiers formed
by combining the basic K from the decision tree [19]. Random forest is also a method that produces very
accurate predictions and can handle many input variables without overfitting [20]. Random forest uses the
classification and regression tree (CART) algorithm to build trees. Given the huge number of trees

Heart failure prediction based on random forest algorithm using genetic algorithm for … (Yudi Ramdhani)
208  ISSN: 2089-4864

constructed, the random forest approach is distinguished by excellent performance in classifiability and good
noise resistance [18]. The decision tree is grown using the CART method, grows to its maximum size, and is
then left unpruned. As a result, a forest is created, which is a collection of trees [21]. Additionally, the
classification approach incorporates random forest, which consists of a structured collection of decision trees
that each cast a unit vote for the most prevalent class on input x using independent random vectors that are
distributed uniformly, as shown in Figure 2 [22].

Figure 2. Random forest operation

Each decision tree will produce a result based on the input data, and the integration of several outputs
will produce the ultimate result of a random forest. For the original training set, the bagging method was used to
select random data by replacement and form the training set by difference. The features are also selected using a
sampling approach. If it is assumed that a data set has N features, then M features will be sampled from N,
where M<<N. for each extracted training set, only feature M selected randomly rather than all N features will be
used for node splitting in constructing the tree. All decision trees built will grow freely without pruning [18].

2.6. Genetic algorithm

Genetic algorithm (GA) is an algorithm for search and optimization based on genetic principles and
natural selection processes [23]. An optimization issue is constructed using the GA search algorithm to find
the best solution from the population of candidate solutions. Figure 3 shows how GA functions.

Figure 3. Working principle of GA

Int J Reconfigurable & Embedded Syst, Vol. 12, No. 2, July 2023: 205-214
Int J Reconfigurable & Embedded Syst ISSN: 2089-4864  209

Candidate solutions are more broadly referred to as components of a potential answer to a specific
problem. The population as a whole is made up of several potential solutions that GA is creating.
Additionally, candidate solutions include a collection of parameters known as the genotype or chromosome.
The genome is a representation of this set of variables [24]. A randomly generated initial population of
genomes is also used as the starting point for the GA evolution mechanism. In each iteration, the fitness value
is computed using the fitness function. The optimum overall fitness value was calculated based on a
comparison of the present population. In this study, random forest was utilized to categorize the features; the
fitness function was calculated using these results in the suggested framework. Genotypes represent the
original dataset's feature vectors. Chromosomal phenotypes represent the mask of the feature vector. As a
result, the phenotype labeled "0" stands for the trait that was removed, whereas the phenotype labeled "1"
stands for the characteristic that was chosen. As a result, a phenotype labeled "0" is considered a less
significant trait, whereas "1" is considered a highly significant feature. Each genotype produces a collection
of subsets based on phenotype. The training set for the suggested framework is this subset and the operating
basis of genetic processes is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. GA operation

2.7. Classification
The classification stage is the stage for classifying the quality of the "heart failure clinical record
dataset" dataset. In this study, validation was carried out using cross validation, which previously shared
training data and testing data to determine which model has the best level of accuracy. Then validate using
split validation to test the model that has been taken using cross validation. This model will later be
optimized using the genetic algorithm selection feature.

2.8. Matrix evaluation

To ascertain if a model is accurate or not during the classification process, the model's performance
must be calculated. There are numerous ways to assess the performance of machine learning models. The
progress of analytical research is anticipated to be supported by the combination of several evaluation
instruments [9]. In this study, differences in machine learning-based algorithms will be investigated using
four fundamental measures (accuracy, precision, recall, and F-score). The variables in the confusion matrix
are employed in performance calculations for accuracy, precision, and recall. The confusion matrix elements
are true positive (TP), true negative (TN), false positive (FP) and false negative (FN). If the most important
forecast is based on information about medical false negatives [25]. Negative labels are classified as normal
or not cancer, but positive labels are classified as cancer. Each variable in Table 2 is explained.

Table 2. Confusion matrix

Parameter Predicted Positive Predicted Negative
Actual positive True positive (TP) False positive (FP)
Actual negative False positive (FP) True negative (TN)

2.9. Area under cover

Area under curve (AUC) is one of the common methods used to calculate the value of under the
receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Area under the curve can be interpreted as a probability value,

Heart failure prediction based on random forest algorithm using genetic algorithm for … (Yudi Ramdhani)
210  ISSN: 2089-4864

if you choose one positive and negative example at random, the classification method will give a higher score
on the positive example than the negative example. Therefore, a higher AUC value can indicate a better
classification method [26]. The following is a formula for finding the AUC value seen from the results of the
confusion matrix [27].

1 𝑇𝑃 𝑇𝑁
𝐴𝑈𝐶 = ( + )
2 𝑇𝑃 + 𝐹𝑁 𝑇𝑁 + 𝐹𝑃

The AUC value will always be in the range 0-1, because part of the unit square area with the x-axis
and y-axis has a value from 0 to 1. Values above 0.5 are said to be interesting values because random
predictions produce diagonal lines between (0,0) and (1,1) which has an area of 0.5. The quality of
classification accuracy of diagnostic tests using AUC values is shown in Table 3 [26].

Table 3. Accuracy of classification results based on AUC

0 Category
0.90 – 1.00 Best
0.80 – 0.90 Good
0.70 – 0.80 Average
0.60 – 0.70 Poor
0.50 – 0.60 Bad

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

In five classification algorithm models, the research was carried out across ten trials with cross
validation, and the best accuracy value was chosen. According to the experimental findings shown in Table 1,
the random forest algorithm generates results with a higher degree of accuracy than other algorithms. Then,
based on variations in the split validation ratio for the categorization of heart failure, the best model will be
optimized using the genetic selection algorithm feature. Table 4 shows that compared to other optimization
features, the accuracy value produced by the genetic feature selection technique is better. Based on the
comparison of these algorithms, it is known that the random forest algorithm produces the best accuracy and
AUC values compared to other algorithms, namely 82.93% and 0.892, respectively. The following is a table
of confusion matrix generated by the random forest classification model, which can be seen in Table 5. The
random forest algorithm model's AUC score, according to the test findings, is 0.892. The test result
demonstrates that the random forest algorithm achieves the good classification. ROC-AUC curve, which
illustrates the algorithm's performance, can be seen in Figure 5. The ROC curve shows the correlation
between the test data and the prediction data. The area under the curve, or AUC value, which represents the
ROC curve is calculated from this curve. AUC score was 0.892, which is good. The categorization outcomes
attained can be deemed to be extremely impressive. Next is the approach stage using the optimization feature.

Figure 5. ROC average

After obtaining the best model, the next step is to implement feature optimization. In this study, five
experiments were carried out based on variations in the split validation ratio. In each experiment, the best
algorithm will be applied from the results of the comparison, namely random forest and optimization of
genetic algorithm features. The experimental results can be seen in Table 6. The random forest algorithm
yields an accuracy value of 82.55% on average, with the greatest results coming from a split validation ratio
of 0.7 and 0.9, which yields an accuracy value of 83.33%. The best results were obtained with a split
validation ratio of 0.9 at 100%, while the feature optimization approach can yield an average accuracy value
of 93.36%. It is clear from the trial findings in Table 6 that the random forest classification is doing better
than before. The average improvement in performance is 10.812%, and the biggest improvement, 16.670%,
was at a split validation ratio of 0.9. Furthermore, a t-Test paired two samples for means test was performed
to see whether the technique employed may significantly increase the performance of the random forest
algorithm [28]. The results of the t-Test paired two sample for means test results in a P value of t-Test of
0.00695. These results indicate that the application of genetic algorithms for feature selection in the random
forest algorithm can significantly improve accuracy performance, indicated by the P value of t-Test <0.05.
The results of the t-Test test can be seen in Table 7.
According to the results of the t-Test significance test, the genetic algorithm has an excellent
performance to improve the performance of the classification algorithm through the feature selection stage.
The random forest algorithm will undergo another experiment in which selection criteria other than genetic
algorithms, such as greedy forward selection and greedy backward selection, will be used. To ascertain
whether the genetic algorithm is the optimal algorithm for feature selection, this experiment was carried out.
Table 8 displays the outcomes of the experiment. The experimental results in Table 5 state that the genetic
algorithm is a feature selection algorithm that can produce the best classification performance when
compared to other feature selection algorithms. The average value of accuracy for each feature selection
algorithm is 90.18% for forward selection, 89.56% for backward selection, 90.52% for greedy forward
selection and 88.32% for greedy backward selection while the average gains the average value of the
accuracy of the genetic algorithm is 93.36%. Based on all the experimental results that have been obtained, it
can be concluded that the genetic algorithm has succeeded in improving the performance of the random
forest algorithm for the classification of heart disease through feature selection. In previous studies, several

classifications of heart disease have been obtained using various algorithms and classification methods. A
comparison of the results of this study with the results of other studies can be seen in Table 9.
This study's focus on data mining is not based on extremely big amounts of data, but it is an
illustration of a field that will likely be developing in the future and have an impact on heart failure and many
other aspects of health. Based on tests performed on the "heart failure clinical records dataset," it can be seen
that the application of the genetic algorithm for feature selection in the random forest algorithm has a good
accuracy of 93.36%, making it suitable for use by experts in the field of medical personnel. For
programmers, it can also be a reference method that can be used to implement the method into a program
related to heart failure. The use of this new science to the prevention of diseases, especially heart failure, and
the promotion of health will have significant and potentially extremely favorable effects.

selection, and greedy backward selection to compare which selection features can increase the accuracy value of
the heart failure clinical record dataset. Genetic algorithm is proven to have better performance among other
selection features. In this study, genetic algorithms are generally applied for feature selection along with the
random forest algorithm which aims to improve the performance of heart failure classification. Several things that
can be done to improve this research include using other parameter optimization algorithms or also using other
optimization features such as feature weighting or feature generation against other classification algorithms such as
neural networks, decision tree, or extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost).
