Classification and Prediction of Breast Cancer using Linear Regression, Decision Tree and Random Forest

摘要

Breast Cancer is one of a major issue that some of the women are facing today. Earlier detection of cancer by performing detailed analysis based on the existing records which may assist the physicians in providing a better treatment to their patients. Data to analyze and predict the breast cancer are obtained from UCI Machine Learning Repository (Wisconsin Breast Cancer).
