In this section, we will take a look at how to detect breast cancer with a support vector machine (SVM). We're also going to throw in a k-nearest neighbors (KNN) clustering algorithm, and compare the results. We will be using the conda distribution, which is a great way to download and install Python since conda is a package manager, meaning that it makes downloading and installing the necessary packages easy and straightforward. With conda, we're also going to install the Jupyter Notebook, which we will use to program in Python. This will make sharing code and collaborating across different platforms much easier.
Now, let's go through the steps required to use Anaconda, as follows:
- Start ...
