⚙️ Installation Guide

Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally.

1. Clone the Repository

First, clone the project repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/the-first-lady/Prediction-Model_oral_cancer_prediction.git
cd Prediction-Model_oral_cancer_prediction

2. Set Up Python Environment

It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment to manage dependencies:

# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
# On macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
# On Windows:
# venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies

Install all necessary Python packages using pip:

pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn matplotlib seaborn jupyter

🚀 Usage Examples

To run the prediction models and explore the analysis:

1. Launch Jupyter Notebook

Navigate to the project directory and launch Jupyter Notebook:

jupyter notebook Prediction Model_oral_cancer_prediction.ipynb

2. Execute the Notebook

• Open Prediction Model_oral_cancer_prediction.ipynb in your web browser.
• Run all cells sequentially to load the dataset, preprocess data, train both Logistic Regression and Random Forest models, and evaluate their performance.
• Observe model predictions, performance metrics, and visualizations.

Example Code Snippet (from the notebook)

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report, confusion_matrix

# Load the dataset
df = pd.read_csv('oral_cancer_prediction_dataset.csv')

# Assuming 'target' is the column to predict
X = df.drop('target', axis=1)
y = df['target']

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Train Logistic Regression
lr_model = LogisticRegression(random_state=42, solver='liblinear') # Added solver for clarity
lr_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
lr_predictions = lr_model.predict(X_test)
print("Logistic Regression Report:")
print(classification_report(y_test, lr_predictions))

# Train Random Forest
rf_model = RandomForestClassifier(random_state=42)
rf_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
rf_predictions = rf_model.predict(X_test)
print("\nRandom Forest Report:")
print(classification_report(y_test, rf_predictions))
