A study to classify non-dipper/dipper blood pressure pattern of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without Holter device

The aim of this study was to design an expert system to predict the Non-Dipping or Dipping pattern by using several basic clinical and laboratory data through an artificial intelligence algorithm. Data Mining is a technique which extracts information from data sets by using a combination of both statistical analysis methods and artificial intelligence algorithms. Also in this study, the decision tree and naivebayes classification algorithms of this technique were used. © 2014 IEEE
