Development of a classifier based on social network analysis using data mining techniques

AIDS is a deadly disease that is caused by HIV. HIV attacks the immune system of the body and uses white blood cells to make replicates of itself and spreads them to the everywhere in the body. In the life cycle of disease HIV-1 protease enzyme is in charge of cleaving an amino acid octamer into peptides which are used to create proteins by virus. It is very critical to induce a model and predict cleavage of HIV-1 protease on octamers for developing successful medicine. In this work, a novel classifier is proposed which can also be used in different domains. This classifier analyzes a social network that is created by using data mining techniques to predict the class values of new instances. This work consists of two main parts, in the first part evaluation process of frequent itemsets as features is discussed. In the second part, our approach on developing the classifier and the working mechanism of classifier is explained. Our results are compared with the methodology that is proposed on the technical literature and with other machine learning methods and results are promising.
