Multiclass Classification of Brain Cancer with Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

Brain cancer is one the most important disease to be treated all around the world. Classification of brain cancer using machine learning techniques has been widely studied by researchers. Microarray gene expression data are commonly used medical data to get observable results in this manner. In this study, multiclass classification of brain cancer is aimed by using different machine learning approaches. Some preprocessing methods were applied to get improved results. According to the result, feature selection has greatly affected the overall performance of each method in terms of overall accuracy and per class accuracy. Experimental results show that Multilayer Perceptron (MP) method has higher accuracy rate compared with other machine learning methods.
