COMPARISON OF MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR BREAST CANCER

Machine learning algorithms are computer programs that try to predict cancer type based on the past data. The eventual goal of Machine learning algorithms in cancer diagnosis is to have a trained machine learning algorithm that gives the gene expression levels from cancer patient, can accurately predict what type and severity of cancer they have, aiding the doctor in treating it. The existing technology compares three different machine learning algorithms are Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Bayesian Belief Network. The main drawback of these algorithms is unusual because the number of features (gene expressions) far exceeds the number of cases (samples taken from patients). Performance efficiency can be achieved by comparing two more algorithms are Random Forest and Naive Bayes algorithms. Because Random forest and Naive Bayes are used as feature selection method, Random Forest is used to rank the feature importance and applied for relevant feedback. The requirements are weka tool, Java and Relational Database.
