Diagnosis of Breast Cancer

Description

This project focuses on diagnosing breast cancer using binary, supervised machine learning. It utilizes a distance-based algorithm, specifically the k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm. The project employs a robust 5-fold nested cross-validation technique for model evaluation and hyper-parameter tuning.
