Information gain and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for breast cancer diagnoses

This paper presents a new approach for breast cancer diagnosis using a combination of an Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and the Information Gain method. In this approach, the ANFIS is to build an input-output mapping using both human knowledge and machine learning ability and the information gain method is to reduce the number of input features to ANFIS. An experimental result shows 98.23% accuracy which underlines the capability of the proposed algorithm.
