How it fits together

Read from the top: this is what runs when you execute the file, and which function calls which. It is generated from the code, so it cannot drift from it.

Explanation

Key Features

• Data Analysis: Processes and analyzes medical data.
• Model Training: Uses machine learning for diagnosis.
• Prediction: Assists in medical decision-making.
• Error Handling: Validates inputs and manages exceptions.
• CLI Interface: Interactive command-line usage.

Code Breakdown

1. What it imports (lines 12–14)

import sys
import numpy as np
import random

2. MedicalDiagnosis — the class (lines 20–31)

class MedicalDiagnosis:
    def __init__(self):
        self.model = RandomForestClassifier() if RandomForestClassifier else None
        self.trained = False
    def train(self, X, y):
        if self.model:
            self.model.fit(X, y)
            self.trained = True
    def predict(self, X):
        if self.trained:
            return self.model.predict(X)
        return [random.choice([0, 1]) for _ in X]

3. CLI — the class (lines 33–61)

class CLI:
    @staticmethod
    def run():
        print("AI-driven Medical Diagnosis System")
        print("Commands: train <data_file> <labels_file>, predict <data_file>, exit")
        diagnosis = MedicalDiagnosis()
        while True:
            cmd = input('> ')
            if cmd.startswith('train'):
                parts = cmd.split()
                if len(parts) < 3:
                    print("Usage: train <data_file> <labels_file>")
                    continue
                X = np.loadtxt(parts[1], delimiter=',')
                y = np.loadtxt(parts[2], delimiter=',')
                diagnosis.train(X, y)
                print("Model trained.")
            elif cmd.startswith('predict'):
                # ... 5 more lines in the file ...
                preds = diagnosis.predict(X)
                print(f"Predictions: {preds}")
            elif cmd == 'exit':
                break
            else:
                print("Unknown command")
