Ensemble Comparative Study for Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Datasets

Abstract

Every disease is curable if a little amount of human effort is applied for early diagnosis. The death rate in world increases day by day as patient fail to detect it before it becomes chronic. Breast cancer is curable if detection is done at early stage before it spread across all part of body. Now-a-days computer aided diagnosis are automated assistance for the doctors to produce accurate prediction about the stage of disease. This study provided CAD system for diagnosis of breast cancer. This method uses Neural Network (NN) as a classifier model and PCA/LDA for dimension reduction method to attain higher classification rate. Multiple layers of neural network are applied to classify the breast cancer data. This system experiment done on Wisconsin breast cancer dataset (WBCD) from UCI repository. The dataset is divided into 2 parts train and test. With the result of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision and recall the performance can be measured. The results obtained are this study is 97% using ANN and PCA-ANN, which is better than other state-of-art methods. As per the result analysis this system outperformed then the existing system.
