Title
PNN/GRNN Ensemble Processor Design for Early Screening of Breast Cancer.
Abstract
Breast cancer screening has reference to screening of asymptomatic, generally healthy women for breast cancer, to identify those who should receive a follow up check. Early screening can detect non-invasive ductal carcinoma in situ (called “pre breast cancer”), which almost never forms a lump and is generally non-detectible, except by mammography. This paper will describe the design and preliminary evaluation of this PNN/GRNN ensemble pre-screener, in the context of a possible pre-screening protocol, which may, if required, include other data. The results show that using the ensemble technique provides almost a 20% AUC increase over the average standalone PNN and almost 10% over the best performing PNN.
