Abstract

Breast cancer is the second major cause of cancer deaths in women. Machine learning classification techniques can be used to increase the precision of diagnosis and bring it closer to 100%, thus saving the lives of many people. This paper proposed four different models, built using different combinations of selected features and applying five ML classification techniques to all the models to identify the best model with the highest accuracy. It analyzes five machine learning techniques, namely logistic regression (LR), support vector machines (SVM), naive bayes (NB), decision trees (DT), and k-nearest neighbor (KNN), for prediction of breast cancer using the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer Dataset on these four models. The objective of the paper is to find the best ML algorithm that can most accurately predict breast cancer for a particular model. The outcome of this paper helps the doctors to improvise the diagnosis by knowing the effect of combinations of symptoms with the growth of breast cancer.
