Learning method: MSM-T (see below) in the 4-dimensional space of Mean Texture, Worst Area, Worst Concavity, Worst Fractal Dimension. 2) Predicting Time To Recur (field 3 in recurrent records) - Estimated mean error 13.9 months using Recurrence Surface Approximation. (See references (i) and (ii) above) 4. Relevant information Each record represents follow-up data for one breast cancer case. These are consecutive patients seen by Dr. Wolberg since 1984, and include only those cases exhibiting invasive breast cancer and no evidence of distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. The first 30 features are computed from a digitized image of a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of a breast mass. They describe characteristics of the cell nuclei present in the image. A few of the images can be found at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~street/images/ The separation described above was obtained using Multisurface Method-Tree (MSM-T) [K. P. Bennett, "Decision Tree Construction Via Linear Programming." Proceedings of the 4th Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Society, pp. 97-101, 1992], a classification method which uses linear programming to construct a decision tree. Relevant features were selected using an exhaustive search in the space of 1-4 features and 1-3 separating planes. The actual linear program used to obtain the separating plane in the 3-dimensional space is that described in: [K. P. Bennett and O. L. Mangasarian: "Robust Linear Programming Discrimination of Two Linearly Inseparable Sets", Optimization Methods and Software 1, 1992, 23-34]. The Recurrence Surface Approximation (RSA) method is a linear programming model which predicts Time To Recur using both recurrent and nonrecurrent cases. See references (i) and (ii) above for details of the RSA method. This database is also available through the UW CS ftp server: ftp ftp.cs.wisc.edu cd math-prog/cpo-dataset/machine-learn/WPBC/ 5. Number of instances: 198 6. Number of attributes: 34 (ID, outcome, 32 real-valued input features) 7. Attribute information 1) ID number 2) Outcome (R = recur, N = nonrecur) 3) Time (recurrence time if field 2 = R, disease-free time if field 2 = N) 4-33) Ten real-valued features are computed for each cell nucleus: a) radius (mean of distances from center to points on the perimeter) b) texture (standard deviation of gray-scale values) c) perimeter d) area e) smoothness (local variation in radius lengths) f) compactness (perimeter^2 / area - 1.0) g) concavity (severity of concave portions of the contour) h) concave points (number of concave portions of the contour) i) symmetry j) fractal dimension ("coastline approximation" - 1) Several of the papers listed above contain detailed descriptions of how these features are computed. The mean, standard error, and "worst" or largest (mean of the three largest values) of these features were computed for each image, resulting in 30 features. For instance, field 4 is Mean Radius, field 14 is Radius SE, field 24 is Worst Radius. Values for features 4-33 are recoded with four significant digits. 34) Tumor size - diameter of the excised tumor in centimeters 35) Lymph node status - number of positive axillary lymph nodes observed at time of surgery 8. Missing attribute values: Lymph node status is missing in 4 cases. 9. Class distribution: 151 nonrecur, 47 recur
Luis Torgo's version: (reconstructed) - removed the four instances with unknown values of the last attribute - exchanged the attribute position of attributes n.3 (Time) and n.35 (Lymph node). - removed the attribute outcome as it is the class attribute if the problem is treated as a classification one
