Predicting Breast Cancer Using Logistic Regression and Multi-Class Classifiers

Abstract

The primary identification and prediction of type of the cancer ought to develop a compulsion in cancer study, in order to assist and supervise the patients. The significance of classifying cancer patients into high or low risk clusters needs commanded many investigation teams, from the biomedical and the bioinformatics area, to learn and analyze the application of machine learning (ML) approaches. Logistic Regression method and Multi-classifiers has been proposed to predict the breast cancer. To produce deep predictions in a new environment on the breast cancer data. This paper explores the different data mining approaches using Classification which can be applied on Breast Cancer data to build deep predictions. Besides this, this study predicts the best Model yielding high performance by evaluating dataset on various classifiers. In this paper Breast cancer dataset is collected from the UCI machine learning repository has 569 instances with 31 attributes. Data set is pre-processed first and fed to various classifiers like Simple Logistic-regression method, IBK, K-star, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Random Forest, Decision table, Decision Trees (DT), PART, Multi-Class Classifiers and REP Tree. 10-fold cross validation is applied, training is performed so that new Models are developed and tested. The results obtained are evaluated on various parameters like Accuracy, RMSE Error, Sensitivity, Specificity, F-Measure, ROC Curve Area and Kappa statistic and time taken to build the model. Result analysis reveals that among all the classifiers Simple Logistic Regression yields the deep predictions and obtains the best model yielding high and accurate results followed by other methods IBK: Nearest Neighbor Classifier, K-Star: instance-based Classifier, MLP- Neural network. Other Methods obtained less accuracy in comparison with Logistic regression method.

Improved Clinical Diagnosis Using Predictive Analytics

“…Yet, the proposed feature selection techniques could be exercised over different datasets and observe their performances. Author Sultana et.al, [11] works on various data mining classification models namely LR, K-NN, K-Star, Decision table, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Multi-class Classifiers, Decision Trees, REP trees, and PART using breast cancer dataset. Results concluded that LR performed the best compared to other models with an accuracy of 97.3%, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 014, True Positive (TP) of 0.97, False Positive (FP) of 0.03, ROC of 0.99, F1-score of 0.97, and model build time of 0.65 seconds.…”

Multi-Party Privacy-Preserving Logistic Regression with Poor Quality Data Filtering for IoT Contributors

“…In medicine, ref. [13][14][15] used logistic regression to predict breast cancer. Thottakkara et al [16] demonstrated that logistic regression is one of the best machine learning models for predicting postoperative sepsis and kidney injuries.…”

Comparative study of logistic regression and artificial neural networks on predicting breast cancer cytology

“…Jabeen sultana and Abdul Khader Jilani predicted the existance of Breast cancer by evaluating dataset on various classifiers like Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Random Forest, Simple Logistic-regression method, IBK, K-star, Decision table, Decision Trees (DT), PART, Multi-Class Classifiers and REP Tree. Findings showed that Simple Logistic Regression was the best model followed by other methods [11]. Mohammed Abdulrazaq Kahya used the BreaKHis (The Breast Cancer Histopathological Images) datasets to develop a method to classify breast tumors into two classes benign and malignant.…”
