This project uses machine learning to classify breast cancer tumors as malignant or benign using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) Dataset. The project aims to compare different classification models on the dataset to find the best performing model.
The project includes scripts for loading and preprocessing the data, selecting features, defining classifiers, training classifiers, evaluating classifiers, cross-validating classifiers, and visualizing evaluation metrics. The project also includes a config.py file that allows you to easily change the configuration variables for the project, such as file paths, hyperparameters, and other settings.

To use this project, you will need to have Python 3 and conda installed on your computer. You can download Python 3 from the official website and conda from the official website.
Once you have installed Python 3 and conda, you can create an environment for this project by running the following command in the root directory of the project:
conda create --name cancer_clf python==3.9This will create a new conda environment named cancer_clf with Python 3 installed. You can activate this environment by running the following command:
conda activate cancer_clfOnce you have activated the cancer_clf environment, you can install the necessary libraries for this project by running the following command in the root directory of the project:
conda install --file requirements.txtThis will install the libraries listed in the requirements.txt file using conda. Once you have installed these libraries, you can use this project as described in the Usage section.
To use this project, you will need to set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the root directory of the project. You can do this by running the following command in the root directory of the project:
export PYTHONPATH=${PWD}Once you have set the PYTHONPATH environment variable, you can run the main script of the project by running the following command in the src directory of the project:
python src/main.pyThis will run the main script of the project, which will load the data, split it into training and test sets, select features, define classifiers, train classifiers, evaluate classifiers, cross-validate classifiers, and visualize evaluation metrics.
You can modify the behavior of the script by changing the values of the configuration variables defined in the config.py file.
