Revolutionizing Breast Cancer Detection: J48 Decision Tree Algorithm Leads with 84% Accuracy
The article compares six different decision tree-based learning algorithms using breast cancer data. The goal was to see which algorithm performed the best in predicting breast cancer outcomes. The researchers used a dataset from a cancer institute in India with 575 records and 24 attributes. They evaluated the algorithms using a technique called 10-fold cross validation. The results showed that the J48 decision tree had the highest accuracy at 84.21%, while the random forest tree had the lowest accuracy at 76.49%.
