Random forest for breast cancer prediction

Abstract

One of cancer that commonly causes most of the death is breast cancer. According to WHO data published in 2017, breast cancer deaths in Indonesia reached 21,287 or 1.27 % of total deaths. Delay in knowing of the condition of breast cancer in women with breast cancer, results in increased mortality, poor prognosis, and decreased survival rates, which are also associated with lower awareness of breast cancer, and also recommended non-adherence to screening. In this paper, we propose a random forest for breast cancer prediction. Random forest is one of many classification techniques, and it is an algorithm for big data classification. Random forest classification is applied to cancer microarray data to achieve a more accurate and reliable classification performance. The accuracy in this paper is 100 %.
