Abstract

The central nervous system is impacted by multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease that requires early identification for successful treatment. Because of its many symptoms and similarities to other neurological disorders, MS can be difficult to diagnose. Artificial intelligence techniques like the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm can be used to help with quicker and more precise classification in order to solve this problem. The goal of this study is to classify MS using the KNN technique and assess how well it performs in this regard. The Kaggle platform provided the dataset, which consists of 273 patient records with 18 clinical characteristics. With k = 3 as the number of neighbors, the data was split into 80% for training and 20% for testing. The Python programming language was used to implement the classification procedure. According to the findings, the KNN algorithm classified MS with an accuracy of 81.82%. The precision, recall, and f1-score for class 1 were 0.83, 0.76, and 0.79, respectively, according to additional analysis utilizing a classification report, whereas the scores for class 2 were 0.81, 0.87, and 0.84. These findings suggest that the KNN method has the potential to serve as a supportive tool in the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
