Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women, presenting a significant health challenge. This study introduces a method that leverages dimensionality reduction, specifically Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to enhance the accuracy of existing breast cancer detection techniques. By applying PCA and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), our research utilizes the Wisconsin breast cancer dataset to validate the improved performance of these methods. The findings indicate that incorporating PCA into the detection models significantly enhances prediction accuracy and model performance.
