Fuzzy marine adaptive clustering with weighted similarity for accurate missing data imputation in electronic health records
摘要
Missing data in electronic health records poses a serious challenge. It leads to significant information loss, and traditional methods such as mean, mode, and median introduce bias in the result. This work proposes a novel combination imputation method called Fuzzy Marine Adaptive Clustering (FMAC), which combines optimization based on the Marine Predators Algorithm with fuzzy clustering. It presents a dynamic neighbor selection approach that uses membership score and weighted similarity to handle diverse healthcare data in an accurate way. This multi-step procedure yielded statistically more accurate and better performance than other existing methods. Experiments are done on benchmark healthcare datasets (Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Fetal Heart and H1N1 flu vaccine Disease) to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed method significantly improves Mean Absolute Error, Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error, Normalized Root Mean Squared Error, Davies–Bouldin Index, Average Silhouette Coefficient and Friedman and Nemenyi Hypothesis Test. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than existing methods. Due to its use of iterative optimization and hybrid similarity computation over large datasets, FMAC benefits from high-performance computing (HPC) resources for real-time imputation and scalability. By enhancing data quality, FMAC supports improved clinical decision-making and predictive analytics in healthcare.
