Stress Classification Using Machine Learning Techniques: Comparative Study
摘要
There is a significant detrimental impact that stress has on a person’s quality of life as well as their mental and physical health. Stress is a prevalent psychological illness that is brought on by challenging circumstances. This study provides an overview of the psychological and physiological effects of stress, while also highlighting the significance of early detection due to the potential adverse consequences that may arise. Five feature selection methods were tested to identify the optimal feature selection method: SelectKBest, Principal Component Analysis, Forward Selection, Recursive Feature Elimination, Backward Elimination. The purpose of this research paper is to understand the physiological metrics that are used to classify stress. There are a total of five feature selection methods and eight machine learning algorithms that are being explored for deployment. When it comes to Recursive Feature Elimination and forward feature selection methods, the Random Forest algorithm and the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm are the ones that perform the best among all machine learning algorithms.
