An Improved Decision Tree Classification for Breast Cancer Detection with Optimal Parameters

Abstract

The development of proficient and successful decision trees stays a key theme in machine learning on account of their effortlessness and adaptability. A great deal of heuristic calculations has been proposed to build close ideal choice trees. The traditional decision tree calculations and the split measures they utilized are entropy, Gain Ratio and Gini list individually. In this paper, we introduced a conventional correlation of the conduct of two of the most well-known split capacities, to be specific the Gini Index and entropy. The target of this paper is to distinguish and investigate these imperative standards’ or elements of decision tree calculation for Wisconsin Breast cancer growth expectation. The significant commitment of this examination work is to give a way to choose a particular parting factor for the development of decision tree calculation according to necessity or issue. Trial results indicated that utilizing the decision tree calculation with the entropy parting technique accomplished higher grouping precision than Gini list strategy.

Keywords: Breast cancer, Data mining, Decision tree, Entropy, Gini.
