Abstract: In light of the growing global diabetes epidemic, there is a pressing need for enhanced diagnostic tools and methods. Enter machine learning, which, with its data-driven predictive capabilities, can serve as a powerful ally in the battle against this chronic condition. This research took advantage of the Pima Indians Diabetes Data Set, which captures diverse patient information, both diabetic and non-diabetic. Leveraging this dataset, we undertook a rigorous comparative assessment of six dominant machine learning algorithms, specifically: Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Networks, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, and Naive Bayes. Aiming for precision, we introduced principal component analysis to the workflow, enabling strategic dimensionality reduction and thus spotlighting the most salient data features. Upon completion of our analysis, it became evident that the Random Forest algorithm stood out, achieving an exemplary accuracy rate of 98.6% when 'BP' and 'SKIN' attributes were set aside. This discovery prompts a crucial discussion: not all data attributes weigh equally in their predictive value, and a discerning approach to feature selection can significantly optimize outcomes. Concluding, this study underscores the potential and efficiency of machine learning in diabetes diagnosis. With Random Forest leading the pack in accuracy, there's a compelling case to further embed such computational techniques in healthcare diagnostics, ushering in an era of enhanced patient care.
