📊 Dataset Information

📈 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset

The project uses the famous Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer Dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, which is also available through scikit-learn.

📋 Dataset Statistics

• Total Samples: 569 instances
• Features: 30 numeric features
• Classes: 2 (Benign: 357, Malignant: 212)
• Missing Values: None
• Feature Types: All continuous numeric values

🔍 Feature Categories

The 30 features are computed from digitized images of fine needle aspirate (FNA) of breast masses and describe characteristics of cell nuclei present in the image. Features are grouped into three categories:

Mean Values (10 features)

• mean radius: Mean of distances from center to points on the perimeter
• mean texture: Standard deviation of gray-scale values
• mean perimeter: Perimeter of the nucleus
• mean area: Area of the nucleus
• mean smoothness: Local variation in radius lengths
• mean compactness: Perimeter² / area - 1.0
• mean concavity: Severity of concave portions of the contour
• mean concave points: Number of concave portions of the contour
• mean symmetry: Symmetry of the nucleus
• mean fractal dimension: "Coastline approximation" - 1

Standard Error Values (10 features)

• Standard error for each of the 10 mean features above

Worst Values (10 features)

• Largest (worst) value for each of the 10 mean features above

🎯 Target Variable

• 0: Malignant (Cancer)
• 1: Benign (Non-cancer)

🔬 Model Details

🧠 Logistic Regression Algorithm

Logistic Regression is chosen for this binary classification task due to its:

• Interpretability: Easy to understand feature contributions
• Probability Output: Provides confidence in predictions
• Efficiency: Fast training and prediction times
• Reliability: Proven performance in medical applications
• No Assumptions: Doesn't require feature independence

📐 Mathematical Foundation

The model uses the sigmoid function to map any real number to a probability between 0 and 1:

σ(z) = 1 / (1 + e^(-z))

Where z = β₀ + β₁x₁ + β₂x₂ + ... + β₃₀x₃₀

🎯 Model Configuration

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

model = LogisticRegression(
    random_state=42,
    max_iter=1000,
    solver='liblinear'
)

📊 Training Process

1. Data Loading: Import Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset
2. Preprocessing: Handle any missing values and feature scaling
3. Train-Test Split: 80% training, 20% testing
4. Model Training: Fit logistic regression on training data
5. Evaluation: Assess performance on test set
6. Model Serialization: Save trained model using pickle
