COMPARATIVE STUDY ON DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR BREAST CANCER DATASET?

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the world. Early detection of breast cancer is essential in reducing their life losses. Data mining is the process of analyzing massive data and summarizing it into useful knowledge discovery and the role of data mining approaches is growing rapidly especially classification techniques are very effective way to classifying the data, which is essential in decision-making process for medical practitioners. This study presents the different data mining classifiers on the database of breast cancer, by using classification accuracy with and without feature selection techniques. Feature selection increases the accuracy of the classifier because it eliminates irrelevant attributes. The experiment shows that the feature selection enhances the accuracy of all three different classifiers, reduces the Mean Standard Error (MSE) and increase Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC).
