Feature Selection Using Correlation Analysis and Principal Component Analysis for Accurate Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, more so than all other cancers. The accurate diagnosis of breast cancer is very difficult due to the complexity of the disease, changing treatment procedures and different patient population samples. Diagnostic techniques with better p...
