Abstract: A Stroke is a health condition that causes damage by tearing the blood vessels in the brain. It can also occur when there is a halt in the blood flow and other nutrients to the brain. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke is the leading cause of death and disability globally. Most of the work has been carried out on the prediction of heart stroke but very few works show the risk of a brain stroke. With this thought, various machine learning models are built to predict the possibility of stroke in the brain. This paper has taken various physiological factors and used machine learning algorithms like Logistic Regression, Decision Tree Classification, Random Forest Classification, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes Classification to train five different models for accurate prediction. The algorithm that best performed this task is Naïve Bayes that gave an accuracy of approximately 82%.
