For this assignment, you will be using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) Database to create a classifier that can help diagnose patients. First, read through the description of the dataset (below).
In [1]:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
cancer = load_breast_cancer()
#print(cancer.DESCR) # Print the data set description
The object returned by load_breast_cancer() is a scikit-learn Bunch object, which is similar to a dictionary.
In [2]:
cancer.keys()
Out[2]:
In [3]:
# You should write your whole answer within the function provided. The autograder will call
# this function and compare the return value against the correct solution value
def answer_zero():
# This function returns the number of features of the breast cancer dataset, which is an integer.
# The assignment question description will tell you the general format the autograder is expecting
return len(cancer['feature_names'])
# You can examine what your function returns by calling it in the cell. If you have questions
# about the assignment formats, check out the discussion forums for any FAQs

Scikit-learn works with lists, numpy arrays, scipy-sparse matrices, and pandas DataFrames, so converting the dataset to a DataFrame is not necessary for training this model. Using a DataFrame does however help make many things easier such as munging data, so let's practice creating a classifier with a pandas DataFrame.
Convert the sklearn.dataset cancer to a DataFrame.
This function should return a (569, 31) DataFrame with
columns =
['mean radius', 'mean texture', 'mean perimeter', 'mean area',
'mean smoothness', 'mean compactness', 'mean concavity',
'mean concave points', 'mean symmetry', 'mean fractal dimension',
'radius error', 'texture error', 'perimeter error', 'area error',
'smoothness error', 'compactness error', 'concavity error',
'concave points error', 'symmetry error', 'fractal dimension error',
'worst radius', 'worst texture', 'worst perimeter', 'worst area',
'worst smoothness', 'worst compactness', 'worst concavity',
'worst concave points', 'worst symmetry', 'worst fractal dimension',
'target']
and index =
RangeIndex(start=0, stop=569, step=1)
In [4]:
def answer_one():
# Your code here
cancerDF = pd.DataFrame(cancer['data'], index=range(0, 569, 1))
cancerDF.columns=cancer['feature_names']
cancerDF['target'] = cancer['target']
return cancerDF # Return your answer
answer_one()
Out[4]:
In [5]:
def answer_two():
cancerdf = answer_one()
# Your code here
classDistribution = cancerdf['target'].value_counts()
classDistribution.index = ['benign', 'malignant']
return classDistribution # Return your answer
answer_two()

print
def answer_three():
cancerdf = answer_one()
# Your code here
X = cancerdf.loc[:, cancerdf.columns != 'target']
y = cancerdf.loc[:,'target']
return X,y
answer_three()
Out[22]:
Using train_test_split, split X and y into training and test sets (X_train, X_test, y_train, and y_test).
Set the random number generator state to 0 using random_state=0 to make sure your results match the autograder!
This function should return a tuple of length 4: (X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test), where
X_train has shape (426, 30)X_test has shape (143, 30)y_train has shape (426,)y_test has shape (143,)

def answer_four():

# Your code here

Out[21]:
Using your knn classifier, predict the class label using the mean value for each feature.
Hint: You can use cancerdf.mean()[:-1].values.reshape(1, -1) which gets the mean value for each feature, ignores the target column, and reshapes the data from 1 dimension to 2 (necessary for the precict method of KNeighborsClassifier).
This function should return a numpy array either array([ 0.]) or array([ 1.])

cancerdf = answer_one()
means = cancerdf.mean()[:-1].values.reshape(1, -1)
