One of the most common and leading cause of cancer death in human beings is lung cancer. The advanced observation of cancer takes the main role to inflate a patient's probability for survival of the disease. This paper inspects the accomplishment of support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) algorithms in predicting the survival rate of lung cancer patients and compares the effectiveness of these two algorithms through accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score and confusion matrix. These techniques have been applied to detect the survival possibilities of lung cancer victims and help the physicians to take decisions on the forecast of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
