Abstract: 
Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver brought on by the HCV virus. In this condition, early diagnosis is challenging because of the delayed onset of symptoms. Predicting well enough can spare patients from permeant liver damage. The primary goal of this work is to use several machine learning methods to forecast this disease based on widely available and reasonably priced blood test data in order to diagnose and treat patients early on. Three machine learning techniques support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression, decision tree, has been applied on one dataset in this work. To find a suitable approach for illness prediction, the confusion matrix, precision, recall, F1 score, accuracy, receiver operating characteristics (ROC), performances of different strategies have been assessed. The SVM model's overall accuracy is 0.92, the highest among the three models.
