What Is Cancer?
 Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal
cells divide without control and are able to invade
other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of
the body through the blood and lymph systems.
 Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases.
There are more than 100 different types of cancer.
 Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in
which they start
 There are two general types of cancer tumours namely:
• benign
• malignant

• The second leading cause of death among
women is breast cancer, as it comes
directly after lung cancer.
• Breast cancer considered the most
common invasive cancer in women, with
more than one million cases and nearly
600,000 deaths occurring worldwide
annually.
• Breast cancer comes in the top of cancer
list in Egypt by 42 cases per 100 thousand
of the population. However 80% of the
cases of breast cancer in Egypt are of the
benign kind.

Data Mining
• Data Mining is set of techniques used
in various domains to give meaning to
the available data
• Objective: Fit data to a model
–Descriptive
–Predictive
3/27/2014

Predictive & descriptive data mining
• Predictive:
Is the process of automatically creating a classification
model from a set of examples, called the training set,
which belongs to a set of classes.
Once a model is created, it can be used to automatically
predict the class of other unclassified examples
• Descriptive :
Is to describe the general or special features of a set of
data in a concise manner

Data Preprocessing
• Data in the real world is :
– incomplete: lacking attribute values, lacking certain attributes
of interest, or containing only aggregate data
– noisy: containing errors or outliers
– inconsistent: containing discrepancies in codes or names
• Quality decisions must be based on quality data
measures:
Accuracy ,Completeness, Consistency, Timeliness, Believability,
Value added and Accessibility

Preprocessing techniques
• Data cleaning
– Fill in missing values, smooth noisy data, identify or remove outliers and
resolve inconsistencies
• Data integration
– Integration of multiple databases, data cubes or files
• Data transformation
– Normalization and aggregation
• Data reduction
– Obtains reduced representation in volume but produces the same or
similar analytical results
• Data discretization
– Part of data reduction but with particular importance, especially for
numerical data

Classification
• Everyday, all the time we classify
things.
• Eg crossing the street:
– Is there a car coming?
– At what speed?
– How far is it to the other side?
– Classification: Safe to walk or not!!!

 Classification:
 predicts categorical class labels (discrete or nominal)
 classifies data (constructs a model) based on the
training set and the values (class labels) in a
classifying attribute and uses it in classifying new data
 Prediction:
 models continuous-valued functions, i.e., predicts
unknown or missing values
Classification vs. Prediction

Classification—A Two-Step Process
 Model construction: describing a set of predetermined classes
 Each tuple/sample is assumed to belong to a predefined class,
as determined by the class label attribute
 The set of tuples used for model construction is training set
 The model is represented as classification rules, decision trees,
or mathematical formulae
 Model usage: for classifying future or unknown objects
 Estimate accuracy of the model
 The known label of test sample is compared with the
classified result from the model
 Accuracy rate is the percentage of test set samples that are
correctly classified by the model
 Test set is independent of training set, otherwise over-fitting
will occur
 If the accuracy is acceptable, use the model to classify data
tuples whose class labels are not known

Classification
• is a data mining (machine learning) technique used to
predict group membership for data instances.
• Classification analysis is the organization of data in
given class.
• These approaches normally use a training set where
all objects are already associated with known class
labels.
• The classification algorithm learns from the training
set and builds a model.
• Many classification models are used to classify new
objects.

Classification
• predicts categorical class labels (discrete or
nominal)
• constructs a model based on the training set
and the values (class labels) in a classifying
attribute and uses it in classifying unseen
data

Quality of a classifier
• Quality will be calculated with respect to lowest
computing time.
• Quality of certain model one can describe by confusion
matrix.
• Confusion matrix shows a new entry properties
predictive ability of the method.
• Row of the matrix represents the instances in a
predicted class, while each column represents the
instances in an actual class.
• Thus the diagonal elements represent correctly
classified compounds
• the cross-diagonal elements represent misclassified
compounds.

Classification Techniques
 Building accurate and efficient classifiers for
large databases is one of the essential tasks of
data mining and machine learning research
 The ultimate reason for doing classification is to
increase understanding of the domain or to
improve predictions compared to unclassified
data.

Support Vector Machine (SVM)
 SVM is a state-of-the-art learning machine which has
been extensively used as a tool for data
classification , function approximation, etc.
 due to its generalization ability and has found a
great deal of success in many applications.
 Unlike traditional methods which minimizing the
empirical training error, a noteworthy feature of SVM
is that it minimize an upper bound of the
generalization error through maximizing the margin
between the separating hyper-plane and a data set

Linear classifiers: Which Hyperplane?
• Lots of possible solutions for a, b, c.
• Some methods find a separating hyperplane,
but not the optimal one
• Support Vector Machine (SVM) finds an
optimal solution.
– Maximizes the distance between the
hyperplane and the “difficult points” close to
decision boundary
– One intuition: if there are no points near the
decision surface, then there are no very
uncertain classification decisions

Selection of a Good Hyper-Plane
Objective: Select a `good' hyper-plane using
only the data!
Intuition:
(Vapnik 1965) - assuming linear separability
(i) Separate the data
(ii) Place hyper-plane `far' from data

K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier
Learning by analogy:
Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell
you who you are
A new example is assigned to the most
common class among the (K) examples
that are most similar to it.

K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm
 To determine the class of a new example E:
 Calculate the distance between E and all examples in
the training set
 Select K-nearest examples to E in the training set
 Assign E to the most common class among its K-
nearest neighbors

 Each example is represented with a set of numerical
attributes
 ―Closeness‖ is defined in terms of the Euclidean distance
between two examples.
 The Euclidean distance between X=(x1, x2, x3,…xn) and Y
=(y1,y2, y3,…yn) is defined as:

Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
 Simple to implement and use
 Comprehensible – easy to explain prediction
 Robust to noisy data by averaging k-nearest neighbors.
Weaknesses:
 Need a lot of space to store all examples.
 Takes more time to classify a new example than with a
model (need to calculate and compare distance from
new example to all other examples).

Decision Tree

– Decision tree induction is a simple but powerful
learning paradigm. In this method a set of training
examples is broken down into smaller and smaller
subsets while at the same time an associated decision
tree get incrementally developed. At the end of the
learning process, a decision tree covering the training
set is returned.
– The decision tree can be thought of as a set sentences
written propositional logic.

Example
Jenny Lind is a writer of romance novels. A movie
company and a TV network both want exclusive
rights to one of her more popular works. If she signs
with the network, she will receive a single lump sum,
but if she signs with the movie company, the amount
she will receive depends on the market response to
her movie. What should she do?

Payouts and Probabilities
• Movie company Payouts

Therefore, using this criteria, Jenny should select the movie

Decision Trees
• Three types of “nodes”
– Decision nodes - represented by squares ( )
– Chance nodes - represented by circles (Ο)
– Terminal nodes - represented by triangles (optional)
• Solving the tree involves pruning all but the best
decisions at decision nodes, and finding expected values
of all possible states of nature at chance nodes
• Create the tree from left to right
• Solve the tree from right to left

A Novel Approach for Breast Cancer
Detection using Data Mining Techniques

Abstract
 The aim of this paper is to investigate the
performance of different classification techniques.
 Aim is developing accurate prediction models for
breast cancer using data mining techniques
 Comparing three classification techniques in Weka
software and comparison results.
 Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) has
higher prediction accuracy than IBK and BF Tree
methods.

Introduction
 Breast cancer is on the rise across developing nations
 due to the increase in life expectancy and lifestyle
changes such as women having fewer children.
 Benign tumors:
• Are usually not harmful
• Rarely invade the tissues around them
• Don‘t spread to other parts of the body
• Can be removed and usually don‘t grow back
 Malignant tumors:
• May be a threat to life
• Can invade nearby organs and tissues (such as the
chest wall)
• Can spread to other parts of the body
• Often can be removed but sometimes grow back

Risk factors
 Gender
 Age
 Genetic risk factors
 Family history
 Personal history of breast cancer
 Race : white or black
 Dense breast tissue :denser breast tissue have a
higher risk
 Certain benign (not cancer) breast problems
 Lobular carcinoma in situ
 Menstrual periods

Risk factors
 Breast radiation early in life
 Treatment with DES : the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol)
during pregnancy
 Not having children or having them later in life
 Certain kinds of birth control
 Using hormone therapy after menopause
 Not breastfeeding
 Alcohol
 Being overweight or obese

BACKGROUND
 Bittern et al. used artificial neural network to
predict the survivability for breast cancer
patients. They tested their approach on a limited
data set, but their results show a good
agreement with actual survival Traditional
segmentation
 Vikas Chaurasia et al. used Representive Tree, RBF
Network and Simple Logistic to predict the survivability
for breast cancer patients.
 Liu Ya-Qin‘s experimented on breast cancer data using
C5 algorithm with bagging to predict breast cancer
survivability.

BACKGROUND
 Bellaachi et al. used naive bayes, decision
tree and back-propagation neural network to
predict the survivability in breast cancer
patients. Although they reached good results
(about 90% accuracy), their results were not
significant due to the fact that they divided the
data set to two groups; one for the patients
who survived more than 5 years and the other
for those patients who died before 5 years.
 Vikas Chaurasia et al. used Naive Bayes, J48
Decision Tree to predict the survivability for
Heart Diseases patients.

BACKGROUND
 Vikas Chaurasia et al. used CART (Classification
and Regression Tree), ID3 (Iterative Dichotomized
3) and decision table (DT) to predict the
survivability for Heart Diseases patients.
 Pan wen conducted experiments on ECG data to
identify abnormal high frequency
electrocardiograph using decision tree algorithm
C4.5.
 Dong-Sheng Cao‘s proposed a new decision tree
based ensemble method combined with feature
selection method backward elimination strategy to
find the structure activity relationships in the area
of chemo metrics related to pharmaceutical
industry.83 3/27/2014AAST-Comp eng

BACKGROUND
 Dr. S.Vijayarani et al., analyses the
performance of different classification function
techniques in data mining for predicting the
heart disease from the heart disease dataset.
The classification function algorithms is used
and tested in this work. The performance
factors used for analyzing the efficiency of
algorithms are clustering accuracy and error
rate. The result illustrates shows logistics
classification function efficiency is better than
multilayer perception and sequential minimal
optimization.84 3/27/2014AAST-Comp eng

BACKGROUND
 Kaewchinporn C‘s presented a new
classification algorithm TBWC combination of
decision tree with bagging and clustering.
This algorithm is experimented on two
medical datasets: cardiocography1,
cardiocography2 and other datasets not
related to medical domain.
 BS Harish et al., presented various text
representation schemes and compared
different classifiers used to classify text
documents to the predefined classes. The
existing methods are compared and
contrasted based on various parameters85 3/27/2014AAST-Comp eng

 The sensitivity or the true positive rate (TPR) is
defined by TP / (TP + FN)
 the specificity or the true negative rate (TNR) is
defined by TN / (TN + FP)
 the accuracy is defined by (TP + TN) / (TP + FP + TN
+ FN).
 True positive (TP) = number of positive samples
correctly predicted.
 False negative (FN) = number of positive samples
wrongly predicted.
 False positive (FP) = number of negative samples
wrongly predicted as positive.
 True negative (TN) = number of negative samples
correctly predicted

CONCLUSION.
 the accuracy of classification techniques is evaluated
based on the selected classifier algorithm.
 we used three popular data mining methods:
Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), IBK, BF
Tree.
 The performance of SMO shows the high level
compare with other classifiers.
 most important attributes for breast cancer survivals
are Uniformity of Cell Size.

Future work
 using updated version of weka
 Using another data mining tool
 Using alternative algorithms and techniques
