Cardiovascular Disease Detection through Innovative Imbalanced Learning and AUC Optimization by Karthikeyan Palanisamy, Krishnaveni Krishnasamy, Praba Venkadasamy

“…This integration simplifies the model by reducing the number of parameters needing adjustment, making it particularly effective for handling imbalanced datasets through an efficient training process; 2) Theoretical analysis demonstrates that ImAUC-PSVM retains the same structural solution as standard PSVM. This similarity means it inherits PSVM's benefits, particularly in addressing progressive CVD scenarios with rapid incremental updates. …”
