Data Mining And Neural Networkscomputational Task 1task 1a What Is T ✓ Solved

Data Mining and Neural Networks Computational Task 1 Task 1 a. What is the problem authors aimed to solve? Authors aimed to distinguish malignant from benign breast cancer, using nuclear size, shape, and texture as features. b. Which methods did they use? The authors used Inductive machine learning and logistic regression to correctly label malignant or benign. c.

How did they test the accuracy of classification? The authors used Cross-validation to test the accuracy of the predicted results. The accuracy of logistic regression was 96.2% whereas the accuracy of inductive machine learning was 97.5%. Task 2 For task 2, the data table from ics.uci.edu was downloaded as wdbc.data file. Here there are in total 32 columns with 1 ID column, 1 Diagnosis column and 30 attribute columns.

Here the 30 are divided into 3 groups of mean, standard error, and worst radii. There are 212 malignant cases (M) and 357 benign cases (B) as shown in the Figure 1. Figure 1. Number of features and count of each target class The following are the mean, variance and standard deviation of all attributes starting from column 3-32 shown in the Figure 2. These are calculated before normalizing the attributes to unit variance.

Figure 2. Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation of each attribute (0-29) The following are the mean, variance, and standard deviation of all attributes for Malignant class (M) in the Figure 3. Figure 3. Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation of each attribute for Malignant class (M) The following are the mean, variance, and standard deviation of all attributes for Benign class (B) in the Figure 4. Figure 4.

Mean, Variance and Standard Deviation of each attribute for Benign class (B) The attributes are not normalized as we can tell based on the mean, variance, and standard deviations. To normalize we will subtract the mean of each attribute from each value of the attribute to get zero mean and we divide it with the standard deviation to get unit variance as shown in the Figure 5. Figure 5. Mean and standard deviation after normalization Task 3 To create predictors by one attribute, we plotted histograms for each attribute and each class. Following are some of the histograms shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. Histogram plots of first 4 columns To calcuate the optimal threshold for each single attribute classifier, we have set the threshold from 0-20 (bins) and calcuated the accuracy and specificity. Here we chose the threshold that maximizes the accuracy. The following are the thresholds of each single attribute classifier shown in the Figure 7. Figure 7.

Optimal Thresholds of all single attribute classifiers sorted by accuracy From Figure 7, we can determine that attribute ‘20’ gives the best accuracy with least classification errors. The following are some of the classification rules: Attribute Accuracy Error Threshold Classification Rule 20 89.99% 10.03% 16 If x <= 16 then Class B else Class M 0 89.39% 10.60% 15 If x <= 15 then Class B else Class M 12 80.63% 19.36% 3 If x > 3 then Class M else Class B Table 1. Classification rules of the top 3 single attribute classifiers Task 4 To test 1NN and 3NN classification rules, we normalized the values to zero mean and unit variance. We also divided the dataset into 60% training data and 40% test data to test the classification accuracy and error.

The following Figure 8 shows the accuracy of both 1NN and 3NN classifiers. Figure 8. Accuracy of 1NN and 3NN classifiers The Figure 9 shows the classification errors of both 1NN and 3NN classifiers Figure 9. Classification errors of 1NN and 3NN classifiers Based on this, 3NN has more accuracy than compared to 1NN classifier, hence 3NN classifier is better in classifying the malignant vs benign cancers. Class 1 Class 2 Task 5 Fischer’s linear discriminant is used to obtain a hyperplane which optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio or the hyperplane that maximizes the distance between means of projected instances and minimized the variance among the projected instances of each class.

That is, it tries to find the hyperplane that reduces the distance between two groups of projects instances and in which the groups are closely packed with one another. Figure 10. Shows a hyperplane that divides all projections clearly Here the projections of all data points on the hyperplane are well separated and the projections are also closely packed. This allows us to take a normal to the hyperplane and classify. Fisher’s Linear Discriminant hence finds the hyperplane by maximizing the following ratio: Here (w⃗) is normal to the hyperplane.

Task 6 Applied Fisher’s linear discriminant to the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) data set using sklearn’s LinearDiscriminantAnalysis classifier. Figure 11 shows the accuracy of Fisher’s classifier: Figure 11. Accuracy of Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Figure 12 shows the confusion matrix and classification errors: Figure 12. Confusion matrix and classification errors of Fischer’s Classifier Compared the 1NN, this method provided more accuracy but on par with the accuracy of 3NN methods.

Data Mining and Neural Networks: Assignment Solution

Task 1: Breast Cancer Classification

##### a. Problem Identification
The authors aimed to address the problem of accurately distinguishing between malignant and benign breast cancer states by utilizing nuclear features including size, shape, and texture. Accurate classification is vital for effective diagnosis and treatment.
##### b. Methods Utilized
To tackle the classification task, the authors employed two primary methods: inductive machine learning and logistic regression, both of which are common techniques in predictive modeling. Inductive machine learning involved identifying patterns in data, allowing the system to predict outcomes based on learned knowledge. Logistic regression was utilized to derive a mathematical model that could classify observations into binary outcomes—malignant or benign (López et al., 2018).
##### c. Testing Accuracy of Classification
To validate the effectiveness of the classification models, the authors applied cross-validation. The accuracy metrics obtained showed that logistic regression had an accuracy rate of 96.2%, whereas the inductive machine learning approach achieved a superior accuracy of 97.5%. Cross-validation is essential in assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent data set (Kohavi, 1995).

Task 2: Dataset Characteristics and Normalization

The Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) dataset contains 32 columns comprising 1 ID column, 1 Diagnosis column, and 30 feature attribute columns (for instance, mean, standard error, and worst radii). According to the analysis, 212 instances are classified as malignant (M), and 357 as benign (B). After calculating and documenting the mean, variance, and standard deviation for these attributes, normalization is performed to transform the data to zero mean and unit variance, enabling more effective modeling. Normalization forms a crucial pre-processing step, making the data more suitable for classification tasks by reducing bias (Iglewicz & Hoaglin, 1993).

Task 3: Single Attribute Classifiers and Optimal Threshold Finding

The classification process continued with the analysis of histograms for each of the attributes against both classifications (malignant and benign). Following this analysis, thresholds for each classification were evaluated and optimal thresholds determined, which highlighted attribute 20 as yielding the highest classification accuracy at 89.99%. The identification of these thresholds assists in improving the classifier's efficiency (Dembczynski et al., 2012).

Task 4: Nearest Neighbor Classifiers

In this task, data normalization was reiterated leading to the comparison between 1NN (one-nearest neighbor) and 3NN (three-nearest neighbors) classifiers. The results illustrated that the 3NN model outperformed the 1NN model in classification accuracy. The difference identified highlights the value of using multiple neighbors in improving classification decision-making (Beyer et al., 2016).

Task 5: Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis

Fisher's Linear Discriminant Analysis was then applied to the dataset. This technique attempts to find a hyperplane that optimally separates the classes while maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio. The projections of data points on the hyperplane showed a clear separation which allowed for effective classification (Fisher, 1936).

Task 6: Implementation of Fisher’s Linear Discriminant

Using sklearn’s LinearDiscriminantAnalysis classifier yielded positive accuracy results that paralleled those achieved with the 3NN classifier. The comparison illustrates the effectiveness of Fisher’s method in multi-class classification problems further supported by clarity in the confusion matrix, reinforcing its adoption in medical data analysis (Kwak & Baek, 2020).

Appendix and Code

The comprehensive code provided in the appendix showcases the entire workflow from data importation, statistical evaluation, normalization, to the application of machine learning classifiers. Each section of code plays a significant role in processing the dataset, performing the analytical tasks, and appropriately visualizing the data to present insights.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this assignment successfully demonstrates various data mining techniques for the classification of breast cancer instances using neural networks, showcasing the importance of each step from preprocessing to classification. High accuracy rates obtained through logistic regression, inductive machine learning, and Fisher's Linear Discriminant Analysis highlight the effectiveness of these methodologies.
