Abstract

A new predictive model tested on the Pima Indians Diabetes Database is presented. This model represents a particular subclass of A-Type Unorganized Turing machine (UTM), where the state is unique. It appears as a simple combinational network of NAND gates (it is not the more generic sequential type described by Turing, but it is enough to solve the examined predictive task). The optimal architecture of this network is identified by the use of evolutionary algorithms, which are therefore used as computational optimization algorithms. In particular, a classic genetic algorithm and an hybrid evolutionary-swarm algorithm that we have called Evolutionary Bait Balls Model (EBBM) were tested for this purpose. The predictive model thus defined, made it possible to achieve higher performances than those obtained with other classic predictive models. The final combinational network of NAND gates obtained through our model has allowed us to identify a simple Boolean rule to determine the existence of the risk of incurring diabetes mellitus.
