A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MACHINE LEARNING MODELS FOR PREDICTION OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER USING SCREENING DATA
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. ASD prediction is difficult because the diagnostic factors may not be based solely on observation. The project focuses on using ASD screenin...

| Summary: | Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how
people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. ASD prediction is difficult because
the diagnostic factors may not be based solely on observation. The project focuses on using ASD
screening data to predict ASD traits in adults. This project aims to predict ASD traits in adults
based on screening data using a machine learning approach. This can help them decide whether
to seek a medical practitioner. The project proposed using classification, which is one of the
machine learning approaches to predict autism spectrum disorder. The proposed prediction
models are Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest
Neighbours, Naïve Bayes, and Neural Network. The methodology adopted by the project is
knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) to accomplish the needs of this project. The steps
include domain understanding, data selection, data pre-processing, data transformation, data
mining/modelling and model evaluation. The project will create a dataset based on AQ-10 adults
questionnaire data that will facilitate future work in future work in predicting ASD in adults.
Feature selection will be performed to find useful features in predicting ASD traits in adults. The
performance of the classification models for ASD will be compared. Finally, the best
classification model for ASD prediction was a model trained using the Support Vector Machine
(SVM) algorithm |
