Abstract. This research implements decision tree classifiers and artificial neural network to predict whether the patient will live with ovary cancer or not. Dataset was obtained from Danish Cancer Register and contains five Input parameters. Dataset contains some missing values and a noticeable improvement in accuracy was detected after removing them. Three features of the original dataset were shown to be the most significant: Mobility of the cancer, Surface of the cancer, and the Consistency of the cancer. The addition of the other two features (Size of the cancer and age of the patient) did not improve the results significantly. It was noticed that the patients with a cystic, but fixed and even cancer have always died from the ovary cancer. In contrast, the patients with uneven, but fixed and solid cancer have always survived the cancer. It is recommended to include more information about either the cancer or the patient to increase the chance of predicting the output of such patients.
This paper presents development of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for prediction of the size of nanoparticles (NP) and microspore surface area (MSA). Developed neural network architecture has the following three inputs: the concentration of the biodegradable polymer in the organic phase, surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase and the homogenizing pressure. Two-layer feedforward network with a sigmoid transfer function in the hidden layer and a linear transfer function in the output layer is trained, using Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm. For training of this network, as well as for subsequent validation, 36 samples were used. From 36 samples which were used for subsequent validation in this ANN, 80,5% of them had highest accuracy while 19,5% of output data had insignificant differences comparing to experimental values.
