Heart Disease#

Task: binary classification — predict presence of heart disease from the Cleveland Heart Disease dataset (303 patients, UCI repository).

Metric: accuracy (paper reports ≈ 0.852 for the CMNN baseline).

Monotone features (non-decreasing in disease probability — higher values → higher risk):

  • trestbps — resting blood pressure (mm Hg)

  • chol — serum cholesterol (mg/dl)

Non-monotone features: age, sex, cp (chest pain type), fbs, restecg, thalach, exang, oldpeak, slope, ca, thal.
