Disease and symptoms dataset 2023
Description
The dataset contains disease names along with the symptoms faced by the respective patient. There are a total of 773 unique diseases and 377 symptoms, with ~246,000 rows. The dataset was artificially generated, preserving Symptom Severity and Disease Occurrence Possibility. Several distinct groups of symptoms might all be indicators of the same disease. There may even be one single symptom contributing to a disease in a row or sample. This is an indicator of a very high correlation between the symptom and that particular disease. A larger number of rows for a particular disease corresponds to its higher probability of occurrence in the real world. Similarly, in a row, if the feature vector has the occurrence of a single symptom, it implies that this symptom has more correlation to classify the disease than any one symptom of a feature vector with multiple symptoms in another sample.
