The drug
classification into various needful types, improved quality clinical decisions,
and more accurate support of pharmacovigilance are some areas of pharmaceutical
sciences that can be transformed using Machine learning (ML). Encyclopedia of
Information Systems 3rd Edition Kernel Naive Bayes for Drug Classification.
This study describes a Kernel Naive Bayes (KNB) model for drug classification
based on a wide variety of pharmacological and therapeutic properties. From
drug product data repository, this model integrates at least fundamental
drug-related features, such as dosage forms, routes of administration, adverse
reactions, interactions, and indications for use, which are considered as basic
elements in pharmaceutical research and clinical pharmacy. It uses a Gaussian
kernel to model continuous variables and a Multivariate Multinomial (MVMN)
distribution to model categorical features — which allows for a more
complex relationship among the features. To improve interpretability and
mitigate noise, irrelevant or sparse attributes (i.e., regulatory
codes, precautionary labels) were excluded. The last model attained an accuracy
of 83.2% along with a prediction speed of ~1600 observations/sec proving its
potential in handling large-scale pharmaceutical data effectively and
efficiently. These results support the relevance of kernel-based probabilistic
models in pharmacy-related issues, especially in drug safety screening,
automated classification, and pharmacological data mining.
