Breast Cancer Detection App

The breast cancer detection app is a machine learning application that utilizes Scikit-learn to train a predictive model. The model is trained on a dataset of tabular data containing various features associated with breast cancer. The features are used to train the model to predict whether a given case is benign or malignant .The machine application is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to healthcare professionals, allowing them to quickly and accurately diagnose breast cancer using this powerful predictive tool. It has a performance of 97% accuracy on a hold-out test set.

Data Collection

The WISCONSIN Breast Cancer dataset is a widely used benchmark dataset for binary classification tasks. It contains information about breast cancer tumors, including attributes such as size, shape, and texture. There are a total of 569 instances in the dataset, with 212 malignant (M) and 357 benign (B) cases

Features

Here contains all the features that were used in training the model

radius_mean

The mean distance from the center to points on the perimeter of the tumor.

perimeter_mean

The perimeter (total length of the boundary) of the tumor.

area_mean

The area enclosed by the perimeter of the tumor.

concavity_mean

A measure of the severity of concave portions of the contour of the tumor.

concave points_mean

The number of concave portions of the contour of the tumor.

radius_worst

The largest distance from the center to points on the perimeter of the tumor.

perimeter_worst

The largest perimeter (total length of the boundary) of the tumor.

area_worst

The largest area enclosed by the perimeter of the tumor.

concavity_worst

The largest measure of the severity of concave portions of the contour of the tumor.

concave points_worst

The largest number of concave portions of the contour of the tumor.

Training / Testing

The model was trained on 80% of the dataset, and was evaluated on the remaining 20% of the data.

Evaluation

The classification report shows the precision and recall scores on each of the labels and also the f1-scores.

Classification Report

The confusion matrix shows the distribution of predictions and how well they got predicted. On the test set , we have no false positives and very little false negatives
