Abstract

The fourth known cause of cancer death in females can be attributed to cervical cancer. Cervical cancer claims more than 26,500 lives per year. This indeed is a matter of concern for everyone of us. Like any other disease, the requirement for many tests and physician preferences makes this a complex system. Here we are trying to minimize that by taking a dataset of Hinselmann’s test and then using supervised machine learning and logistics regression to give a solid output on patient’s condition.
