Abstract

Breast Cancer Risk Prediction is an open-source Data Science project. Classification of Breast Cancer diagnosis Using Support Vector Machines. In this notebook I used Python modules to import external data sets for the purpose of getting to know/familiarize myself with the data to get a good grasp of the data and think about how to handle the data in different ways. It is built using Jupyter Notebook. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Data Science mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

In this notebook I used Python modules to import external data sets for the purpose of getting to know/familiarize myself with the data to get a good grasp of the data and think about how to handle the data in different ways.

The analysis is divided into four sections, saved in juypter notebooks in this repository

2. Objective

Classification of Breast Cancer diagnosis Using Support Vector Machines

This project demonstrates how Jupyter Notebook can be applied to a real-world Data Science problem.

4. Technology Stack

Jupyter Notebook

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

  • Python 3.8 or later with Jupyter Notebook / JupyterLab (or Google Colab)
  • pip for dependencies
  • Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/Jean-njoroge/Breast-cancer-risk-prediction.git
cd Breast-cancer-risk-prediction

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

  • Turn the analysis into an interactive dashboard
  • Automate data refresh with a scheduled job
  • Add a predictive model on top of the analysis

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. What is the source of the dataset and how was missing data handled?
  2. Which exploratory analysis steps revealed the most useful insight?
  3. Why were these particular charts chosen to present the data?
  4. Which statistical or ML technique supports the conclusions?
  5. How could the analysis be automated or refreshed with new data?
