Source code for Cancer Drug Prediction based on Genetic Mutations

cancer-drug-pred

This repo contains the source code for Cancer Drug Prediction based on Genetic Mutations

1. Download the .py file and open in a Python IDE, using Python 3.6
2. Dowload Ananconda, specifically scikit-learn 0.19.1, pandas 0.20.3, and pydot 1.2.3
3. Download the given datafiles
4. Run the program.
5. The program will output a decision tree structure in .png format, a drug prediction accuracy value as a decimal between 0 and 1, and a drug prediction for a randomly selected patient.

Note: cv_results_ may need to be replaced with grid_scores_ in older versions of pandas.

cancer-drug-pred's Issues

Last Experiment: Identifying Unknown Patient Status

The Goal: show how this can be useful for unknown-status patients.
One example: take patients with little data (or unknown end-status), predict drugs, and then see if (a) those drugs were administered or (b) if those drugs weren't.

• Look into datafiles & formatting.
• Go into big original file. (a) Find a patient & format data, run code, etc. (b) find multiple patients to do this & show results in some table.
• Just want code to stop at the prediction (instead doing the validation).

Small Edits for Code Base

• Update all packages to latest version, fix any compatibility issues.
• Rename CancerReadme to README.md
• Add some details about the parameters you've fixed
• I think you can remove the step about renaming files. Remove the commented files.
• Check out the typo in the annotated.py file.
• In the README.md, explain what the script outputs.
