#Breast Cancer Diagnostic Analysis Using Machine Learning

##Project Overview

This project focuses on developing a machine learning model to accurately diagnose breast cancer using a dataset of breast cancer patient records. The project involves data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, model building, evaluation, and optimization.

##Dataset Description

The dataset used in this project consists of several features computed from digitized images of fine needle aspirate (FNA) of breast masses. Features include characteristics of cell nuclei present in the images. The objective is to classify the diagnosis as either benign or malignant.

##Technologies Used Python - Jupyter Notebook Libraries: Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-Learn Key Steps in the Project

Data Preprocessing: Cleaning data, handling missing values, and standardizing dataset. Exploratory Data Analysis: Visualizing data distributions and understanding correlations using Matplotlib and Seaborn. Feature Engineering: Standardizing features for model training and isolating influential features. Model Development and Evaluation: Implementing various machine learning models and evaluating them based on performance metrics. Model Optimization: Utilizing GridSearchCV for hyperparameter tuning to enhance model performance. Documentation and Reporting: Comprehensive documentation of methodologies and insights in the Jupyter Notebook. Results and Conclusion

The optimized Random Forest model achieved an accuracy of 96%, indicating a high level of precision in breast cancer diagnosis. The project demonstrates the potential of machine learning in augmenting medical diagnostic processes. How to Run the Project
