Machine Learning Approaches to Predict Breast Cancer: Bangladesh Perspective
share
Nowadays, Breast cancer has risen to become one of the most prominent causes of death in recent years. Among all malignancies, this is the most frequent and the major cause of death for women globally. Manually diagnosing this disease requires a good amount of time and expertise. Breast cancer detection is time-consuming, and the spread of the disease can be reduced by developing machine-based breast cancer predictions. In Machine learning, the system can learn from prior instances and find hard-to-detect patterns from noisy or complicated data sets using various statistical, probabilistic, and optimization approaches. This work compares several machine learning algorithm's classification accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity on a newly collected dataset. In this work Decision tree, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, and XGBoost, these five machine learning approaches have been implemented to get the best performance on our dataset. This study focuses on finding the best algorithm that can forecast breast cancer with maximum accuracy in terms of its classes. This work evaluated the quality of each algorithm's data classification in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. And also compared with other published work on this domain. After implementing the model, this study achieved the best model accuracy, 94 and XGBoost.
