Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most frequent cancers among women, affecting about 2 million people. There is 98% chance of 5-years survival rate if detected at early stage. The data about breast cancer used in this paper is the Wisconsin dataset, which is taken from Kaggle. This is a classification problem; there are two classes (0 representing a non-malignant tumor, 1 representing malignancy). Min-max scalar is used for preprocessing of data, to limit data within certain range (known as scaling). The algorithms used for classification are support vector classifier, random forest, naïve Bayes, decision tree and k-nearest neighbours. Evaluation metrics - such as area under curve-rectified operational characteristics curve, confusion matrix, recall score - were used to determine accuracy. To avoid overfitting, cross validation is used where k fold value is 3. Support vector classifier and random forest gave the highest accuracy.
