A proposed machine learning model may outperform other approaches at predicting breast cancer with higher accuracy, according to an analysis published in Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering.
Researchers sought to develop a deep extreme gradient descent optimization model to detect breast cancer. The proposed model includes a training stage (data acquisition) and a validation stage (data processing).
The investigators used the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Diagnosis dataset to assess the model and found it demonstrated robust results, with 98.7% accuracy, 99.6% specificity, 99.4% sensitivity, and 99.4% precision.
