Brain_Tumor: Data Analysis Project

Overview

The Brain_Tumor project is a data analysis initiative where various machine learning techniques have been implemented to analyze and predict brain tumor data. The project combines multiple methods such as regression, classification, and clustering to gain insights and make predictions based on the available dataset.

This project is an exploration of key data science concepts, including Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), data visualization, and the implementation of various machine learning algorithms. These algorithms include Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, Random Forests, and clustering techniques like K-Means and Hierarchical Clustering. Each of these methods has been applied to uncover patterns and predict the likelihood of brain tumor cases.

Although this is just the beginning of my deep dive into the world of data science, machine learning, and AI, it marks an important step in my goal to advance my expertise in this field.
