Prediction of body fat status by using naïve bayes technique among university students / Nurfarah Mazarina Mazalan

Two types of lipid that can be related which are fat and fat-free mass. There are several methods to calculate body fat percentage like numerous formula equations, artificial neural network (ANN) technique and body fat callipers tool by using independent variables (IV) such as gender, age and BMI. A...
