Breast cancer is a common type of cancers and the main reason of increased death of women universally. Recently, ML methods have become important in varying fields, such as Logistic Regression, Elastic Net Logistic, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Boosting, Naive Bayes and K Nearest Neighbor. The aim of the current study is to know and predict the type of cancerous tumor whether it is benign or malignant. These above techniques are expected to be helpful. Breast tumor type diagnosis using numerous performance metrics i.e. accuracy, classification error, sensitivity and specificity, both certified and trained models were assessed. The models were developed to determine which model would provide the best performance and comparisons were done. A separate data set from the one used to create the models was utilized to confirm every model. According to the analysis, the findings showed that elastic net logistic model had the highest performance in accurate classification rate (accuracy), classification error and sensitivity. Making it the best classifier for predicting the kind of breast cancer among all other models, privacy and it was also distinguished by reduce the high dimensionality and multicollinearity problems.
