ABSTRACT

Data mining has evolved from an experimental analysis to a predicting methodology due to highly precise algorithms and high performance data mining tools. Knowledge discovery in database has been used to predict survivability and diagnosis of diseases in the field of medicine. This can prove helpful for prevention of epidemics. In this paper, J48 algorithm classification is used for classifying data based on cancers, patient’s gender, age marital status and education using WEKA tool and the pattern of spread of cancer is discussed.
