Breast Cancer Classifier (Logistic Regression) 🔬

This code helps you classify malignant and benign tumors using Logistic Regression

Code Requirements 🦄

The example code is in Matlab (R2016 or higher will work).

You can install Conda for python which resolves all the dependencies for machine learning.

Description 🧪

Logistic regression is named for the function used at the core of the method, the logistic function.

The logistic function, also called the sigmoid function was developed by statisticians to describe properties of population growth in ecology, rising quickly and maxing out at the carrying capacity of the environment. It’s an S-shaped curve that can take any real-valued number and map it into a value between 0 and 1, but never exactly at those limits.

Some Notes 🗒️

1. Dataset- UCI-ML
2. I have used only 2 features out of 32 to classify.

Results 📊

Execution 🐉

To run the code, type run breast_cancer.m

run breast_cancer.m

Python Implementation 👨‍🔬

1. Dataset- UCI-ML
2. I have used 30 features to classify
3. Instead of 0=benign and 1=malignant, I have used 1=benign and 2=malignant
