Abstract

The use of machine learning (ML) into healthcare has shown enormous growth in recent years. The efficacy of supervised ML models is significantly influenced by the quality of the training data. Feature selection is a crucial factor that affects the performance of machine learning models, especially in complex tasks like multi-class cancer classification. This research investigates the efficacy of using forward feature selection and backward feature elimination approaches in combination with logistic regression. The features generated using these approaches are then used for cancer type classification using support vector machines (SVM).The focus of our study is to use a partially complete gene dataset obtained from the Indian Council of Medical study (ICMR) for the purpose of classifying different types of cancer using Support Vector Machines (SVM). Our approach demonstrated a remarkable success rate of 96% when using features selected via the forward selection method and 97% when using features obtained through the backward selection method in multi-class cancer classification.
