arXiv:2607. 24035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explainable AI (XAI) is used to assess whether artificial intelligence models rely on meaningful patterns, yet explanations that appear plausible for individual predictions may systematically misrepresent model behavior.

The paper introduces a statistically grounded framework for interpretable, rule-based clinical classification using Bernoulli Naïve Bayes (BNB). It employs supervised chi‑square‑guided binarization to convert continuous medical variables into binary indicators, enabling BNB to handle continuous data while maintaining transparency. On three benchmark datasets—Pima Indians Diabetes, Wisconsin Breast Cancer, and Heart Failure Prediction—the method achieved AUCs of 0.800, 0.984, and 0.919, respectively, and demonstrated reliable probability calibration through cross‑validated analysis and post‑hoc beta calibration.

The study evaluates several machine‑learning classifiers for predicting heart disease using two public datasets, each with 14 health‑related attributes. Performance metrics such as MAE, RAE, accuracy, precision, recall, and F‑measure were used, revealing that SVM performed best on the UCI data while Simple Cart excelled on the Kaggle data. The authors conclude that well‑tuned ML models can aid early heart‑disease diagnosis and suggest future work on hybrid methods and newer datasets.
