BREAST CANCER DETECTION USING MAMMOGRAM FEATURES USING RANDOM FOREST ALGORITHM

Abstract

Breast Cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases for women. This cancer occurs when some breast cells begin to grow abnormally. Machine learning is the subfield of computer science that studies programs that generalize from past experience. This project looks at classification, where an algorithm tries to predict the label for a sample. The machine learning algorithm takes many of these samples, called the training set, and builds an internal model. This built model is used to classify and predict the data. There are two classes, benign and malignant. Random Forest classifier is used to predict whether the cancer is benign or malignant. Training and testing of the model are done by Wisconsin Diagnosis Breast Cancer dataset.
