The Jupyter notebook ThoracicSurgery contains the main code.
Thoracic_Surgery_Presentation contains the PowerPoint slides presentation.
Thoracic_Surgery_Report contains the project report.
The data is dedicated to the classification problem related to the post-operative life expectancy in the lung cancer patients: class 1 - death within one year after surgery, class 2 - survival.
The data was collected retrospectively at Wroclaw Thoracic Surgery Centre for patients who underwent major lung resections for primary lung cancer in the years 2007-2011. The Centre is associated with the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Medical University of Wroclaw and Lower-Silesian Centre for Pulmonary Diseases, Poland, while the research database constitutes a part of the National Lung Cancer Registry, administered by the Institute of Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Diseases in Warsaw, Poland.
The data folder contains the original data file in CSV format, converted from Weka ARFF. The Data_Wrangling Jupyter notebook file shows how I changed the original data set into the one used for this project.
