Just over a week to go till the TMA has to be submitted. I read through the TMA again and realised I still have a lot to do and really haven't planned as well as I should. I have downloaded the breast cancer data from the Machine Learning website and put it into MS Access. I have written some queries to look at each of the attributes in the table to see how they correlate with classification of tumour recurrance or no recurrance. No obvious patterns seem to emerge from the data. I therefore think that which ever AI techniques I use they must be able to handle uncertainty. It won't be possible to say patient x's tumour will reoccur but it will be possible to give the proabaility that it will reoccur.
