Diagnosis of Breast Cancer Tumor Based on PCA and Fuzzy Support Vector Machine Classifier

In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm based on principal component analysis (PCA) and fuzzy support vector machine (SVM) for the diagnosis of breast cancer tumor. First, PCA algorithm is implemented to project high-dimensional breast tumor data into much lower dimensional space, then the processed data are classified by a fuzzy SVM classifier. Experimental and analytical results show that in the diagnosis of breast cancer tumor the proposed method can greatly speed up the training and testing of the classifier, get high testing correct rate and pick out untypical cases to be reexamined by experienced doctors, superior to the traditional rigid margin SVM classifier.
