Abstract: A healthy liver leads to healthy life. In India, as well as in other parts of the world, liver disease is one of the principle areas of concern in medicine. For this study, diagnosis of liver disease is performed by deploying classification methods include linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), feed-forward neural network (FFNN) and support vector machine (SVM) based approaches. Experimental results concluded that SVM based approaches outperformed all other classification methods in terms of diagnostic accuracy rates. Furthermore, least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) with gaussian radial basis kernel function based machine learning approach had emerged as the as the best predictive model by reducing inefficiencies caused by false diagnosis. LSSVM also performed better than linear SVM, polynomial SVM, quadratic SVM and multilayer perceptron SVM despite the uneven variance in attribute values in the health examination data.
