Cancer has been known as a disease consisting of several different types. Cancer is a life threatening disease in the world today. There are so many types of cancer in the world, one of which is colon cancer. Colon cancer is one of the number one killers in the world. However, because there isn’t any obvious symptom of colon cancer at an early stage, people do not realize that they suffer from it. Even though cancer formation is different for each type of cancer, it is still a big challenge to make cancer classification with good accuracy. Many machine learning has been applied to the data of human’s genes in order to get the most relevant genes in the classification of cancer. The author proposes the Naïve Bayes Classifier model as a classification method to show that the model has good accuracy, good precision, good recall, good f ₁ — score in classifying the data of patients suffering from colon cancer or not. In this proposed model, Naïve Bayes Classifier is a technique prediction based on simple probabilistic and on the application of the Bayes theorem (or Bayes rule) with a strong independence assumption. Therefore, this model is able to make higher classification accuracy with less complexity. In particular, it achieves up to 95.24% classification accuracy, thus this model can be an efficient analysis tool.

Prostate cancer is cancer that attacks the prostate gland, usually affecting men over 50 years. Prostate cancer is a disease that develops slowly. Based on this, rapid and precise detection is needed so that the disease can be treated immediately. This study focuses on the application Feature Selection using the Random Forest Classifier to detect prostate cancer. The Random Forest Classifier is a method of classifying data by determining the decision tree. The use of more trees will affect the accuracy to be obtained for the better. The Random Forest Classifier can classify data that has incomplete attributes and can be used to handle large sample data. Selection of features is an important process because it can affect the accuracy of classification. This method increases accuracy by about 87%. Thus, the selection of features can improve accuracy in the detection of prostate cancer.

Comparing random forest and support vector machines for breast cancer classification

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 %.

Early detection of pancreatic cancer is difficult, and thus many cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed late. When pancreatic cancer is detected, the cancer is usually well developed. Machine learning is an approach that is part of artificial intelligence and can detect pancreatic cancer early. This paper proposes a machine learning approach with the twin support vector machine (TWSVM) method as a new approach to detecting pancreatic cancer early. TWSVM aims to find two symmetry planes such that each plane has a distance close to one data class and as far as possible from another data class. TWSVM is fast in building a model and has good generalizations. However, TWSVM requires kernel functions to operate in the feature space. The kernel functions commonly used are the linear kernel, polynomial kernel, and radial basis function (RBF) kernel. This paper uses the TWSVM method with these kernels and compares the best kernel for use by TWSVM to detect pancreatic cancer early. In this paper, the TWSVM model with each kernel is evaluated using a 10-fold cross validation. The results obtained are that TWSVM based on the kernel is able to detect pancreatic cancer with good performance. However, the best kernel obtained is the RBF kernel, which produces an accuracy of 98%, a sensitivity of 97%, a specificity of 100%, and a running time of around 1.3408 s.

Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic mental disorder. This disorder is marked with disturbances in thoughts, perceptions, and behaviours. Due to these disturbances that can trigger Schizophrenics to commit suicide or attempt to do so, Schizophrenics have a lower life expectancy than the general population. Schizophrenia is also difficult to diagnose as there is no physical test to diagnose it yet and its symptoms are very similar to several other mental disorders. Using Northwestern University Schizophrenia Data, this research aims to distinguish people who are Schizophrenics and people who are not. The data consists of 392 observations and 65 variables that are demographic data and clinician-filled Scale for the Assessment of Positive and Negative Symptoms questionnaires. Classification method used is machine learning with Support Vector Machines (SVM). Simulations are done with different data and percentage of training data. In each simulation, accuracy is measured. Model performance validation and evaluation are done by averaging ten times Hold-Out Validations that were done. In conclusion, SVM successfully classified Schizophrenia data with final accuracy of 90.1%. Furthermore, SVM with linear kernel and Gaussian kernel reached an accuracy of 95.0% in at least one simulation in classifying Schizophrenia data.
