In this lab, you’ll explore the breast cancer dataset and try to train the model to predict if the person is having breast cancer or not. We will start off with a weak learner, a decision tree with maximum depth = 2.
We will then build an adaboost ensemble with 50 trees with a step of 3 and compare the performance with the weak learner.
Let's get started by loading the libraries.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import sklearn
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.model_selection import KFold

We will use the breast cancer dataset in which the target variable has 1 if the person has cancer and 0 otherwise. Let's load the data.
cancer = load_breast_cancer()

They describe\ncharacteristics of the cell nuclei present in the image.\n\nSeparating plane described above was obtained using\nMultisurface Method-Tree (MSM-T) [K. P. Bennett, "Decision Tree\nConstruction Via Linear Programming." Proceedings of the 4th\nMidwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Society,\npp. 97-101, 1992], a classification method which uses linear\nprogramming to construct a decision tree. Relevant features\nwere selected using an exhaustive search in the space of 1-4\nfeatures and 1-3 separating planes.\n\nThe actual linear program used to obtain the separating plane\nin the 3-dimensional space is that described in:\n[K. P. Bennett and O. L. Mangasarian: "Robust Linear\nProgramming Discrimination of Two Linearly Inseparable Sets",\nOptimization Methods and Software 1, 1992, 23-34].\n\nThis database is also available through the UW CS ftp server:\n\nftp ftp.cs.wisc.edu\ncd math-prog/cpo-dataset/machine-learn/WDBC/\n\n.. topic:: References\n\n - W.N.
