Abstract
Diagnosis of health conditions is a very challenging task in field of medical science. Diagnoses of health conditions are based on the physician experience. Data mining technique plays role to diagnosis of diseases of patients. Classification is one of the important data mining applications for classification of data. In this work, our main purpose is to propose a robust classifier and compared with other existing classifier which is developed by various authors. We have developed classifications models and its ensemble model for classification of thyroid data. Feature selection is also applied to improve the classification accuracy and increases performance. This paper has used an ensemble of C4.5 and Random Forest which improve classification accuracy of model compared to individual models as well as existing techniques.
