ESVM-SWRF: Ensemble SVM-based sample weighted random forests for liver disease classification.

Recently, a significant way to diagnose the disease is using the model of medical data mining. The most challenging task in the healthcare field is to face a large amount of data during disease analyzes and prediction. Once the data are transformed into valuable data by means of data mining models then the actual prediction and decision making is easier.
