Microarray Breast Cancer Data Clustering Using Map Reduce Based K-Means Algorithm

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the world's most advanced and most common cancers occurring in women. An early diagnosis of breast cancer offers treatment for it; therefore, several experiments are in development establishing approaches for the early detection of breast cancer. The great increase in research in the last decade in microarray data processing is a potent tool of diagnosing diseases. Based on genomic knowledge, micro-arrays have changed the way clinical pathology recognizes, identifies, and classifies the diseases of humans, particularly those of cancer. In this article, we examined microarray data for breast cancer with the k-means clustering algorithm, but it was hard to scale and process a large number of micro-array data alone. To this end, we use a chart to minimize the paradigm for evaluating microarray data on breast cancer. Moreover, the efficiency of the parallel k-means model is measured with the operating period, the scaling, and all runtime of the model.
