Özet

A  stroke  is  a  serious  neurological  condition  that  occurs  due  to  eitherblockages or bleeding in the brain, which can lead to death or long-term disability.This study aims to enhance the accuracy of disease diagnosis in imbalanced strokepatient datasets.  The model incorporates an artificial immune system algorithm,whose parameters are fine-tuned using the Firefly algorithm to ensure both stability and balanced data.  To enhance the performance of the underrepresented class, theOne-Sided Selection method is employed.  The model’s effectiveness was tested intwo separate experiments:  one utilizing all available features and the other apply-ing the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to select the most relevant features.The  models  were  trained  using  six  different  classification  algorithms:  CatBoost,Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), Gradient Boosting (GB), ExtremeGradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Logistic Re-gression (LR). The results were presented using performance metrics.  When trainedusing all features, the model achieved an accuracy of 93 %, specificity of 93 %, andsensitivity of 80 %.  When trained using the best features selected by the ABC algo-rithm, the model achieved an accuracy of 93 %, specificity of 93 %, and sensitivityof 82 %.  Compared to previous studies, the proposed model was effective in bothexperiments
