Big data is a phrase which is used to report collection of data that vast in size and still growing exponentially with time. It covers structured unstructured and semi-structured data. Now a day's big data is widely used in healthcare for prediction of diseases. Breast cancer is one of top cancer that occurs in a woman. It is the second main leading reason for the death of a woman in the United States and in Asian countries. If we identify this disease in early stages there is a better chance for curing. For this experiment, we used K nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm for finding classification accuracy and it is implemented on R tool. We consider Wisconsin breast cancer (ori ginal) dataset taken from UCI machine learning repository.
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.
