Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) Prediction

Prithwish Ghosh

Abstract: Breast cancer continues to remain the most lethal malignancy in women across the world. In 2008, approximately 1.4 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide with corresponding 460000 deaths. Here we use a machine learning tool xgboost to diagnose patients and then we split the data to classify them into categories. Here we use xgboost because its time efficient and gives more precise results rather than many other Machine Learning algorithms.

Keywords: Xgboost, Machine Learning, malignancy
