Identify Attributable Variables and Interactions in Breast Cancer

Abstract: The object of the present study is to develop a statistical model for breast cancer tumor size prediction for United States patients based on real uncensored data. When we simulate breast cancer tumor size, most of time these tumor sizes are randomly generated. We want to construct a statistical model to generate these tumor sizes as close as possible to the real patients’ data given other related information. We accomplish the objective by developing a high quality statistical model that identifies the significant attributable variables and interactions. We rank these contributing entities according to their percentage contribution to breast cancer tumor growth. This proposed statistical model can also be used to conduct surface response analysis to identify the necessary restrictions on the significant attributable variables and their interactions to minimize the size of the breast tumor.
