Medical data mining has great potential for exploring the
hidden patterns in the data sets of the medical domain. These
patterns can be utilized for fast and better clinical decision
making, and also to curb the occurrence of particular disease
by physicians. However, the available raw medical data are
widely distributed, heterogeneous in nature and voluminous.
Data mining and Statistics both strive towards discovering
hidden patterns and structures in data. Statistics deals with
heterogeneous numbers only, whereas data mining deals with
heterogeneous fields. We have identified one area of healthcare
where data mining techniques can be applied for knowledge
discovery. In this paper, the impact of two Data Mining
techniques(FP-Growth and Apriori) on a known diabetic
dataset has been examined. Also rules generated by the FPGrowth
approach are being matched and co-related with those
being generated by Apriori algorithm.
