ARTICLE ANALYSIS

The purpose of the article analysis is to analysis the journal articles related to my major field, to

understand the structure of the article, to identify the writing style of the author, and to know how

the research had done in my discipline by using various methods and techniques. Addition to that

we can also know how the standards of writing a research paper in my discipline differ from

writing a research paper in another discipline.

The journal article “ Diagnosis of Breast Cancer using Clustering Data Mining Approach.” is about

the diagnosis the breast cancer patient at the early stage by using some techniques [1]. The overall

structure of the article is following the IMRD structure which includes Introduction, Method,

Result, and Discussion in sequential order [2]. Most of the researcher uses IMRD structure for

writing the journal article to make audience understandable. In some articles, result and discussion

will appear in the same paper [2]. The IMRD structure provides the basic format of broad-narrow-

broad [2] which helps the authors to explain their ideas in the wider way.

From the introduction, this article explains how to solve the problem of breast cancer and early

diagnosis of the breast cancer by applying clustering data mining technique to breast cancer patient

to find the patient health condition [1]. The author then gave the literature review [1] how this

study focuses on different parameters on helping the patient to be healthy. Furthermore, the
researcher then describes the different methods for diagnosis patient’s health with different

algorithms. The researcher also demonstrates the result analysis [1] of the data by using the

algorithms in the Evaluation section. The researcher has discussed how effective algorithm works

on the patient’s health condition and the researcher also added their future work by applying

different classification and association mining algorithm [1].

The object of study is the diagnosis of breast cancer using clustering data mining [1]. The

researcher wants to diagnosis the breast cancer patient at the early stage to make the patient

healthy. On the other hand, Move 1 [2] is used to build the major information and the effect of

breast cancer in women. Additional to that the researcher explained how the breast cancer affects

women and how it can be detected.

The author’s exigence is also the Move 2 [2] which explains the challenge, problem or issue of the

previous researchers. The previous researchers do not explain how the breast cancer affect the

younger without wearing the proper corset in the ruler area [1] because it is also one of the causes

of the breast cancer. The main focus of this article is analyzing breast cancer data and the

challenging problem they use a clustering method find cancer in breast cancer dataset [1].

Move 3 [2] includes the purpose of the article is to solve the breast cancer by applying the

clustering data technique for finding the health of the patient [1] at the early stage of the breast

cancer. The article is relevant to the doctors who are specialist in treating cancer, and the women

who are suffering from the breast cancer. This article [1] also relevant to the students who are

related to the data mining, and data analytics because how the data has used to solving the breast

cancer and making the patient healthy by using some mining techniques.
The article [1] uses the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) citation style which

is the unique style to write the technological articles. Also, this article includes tables and charts

to help the reader to understand the data visually.

SUMMARY:

Breast cancer is one of the major diseases which is found in women. Generally, breast cancer is

caused by gene changes [1]. Chest x-ray, CT scan, BONE scan and PET scan are used to detect

the stages of the breast cancer [1]. This article is used to diagnosis the breast cancer patient by

using clustering data mining technique [1]at the early stage of the patient. The author of the paper

focused on to improve health awareness, diagnosis breast cancer, the risk factor of the breast

cancer, and analyzing breast cancer dataset. To solve the problem of the breast cancer at the early

stage apply clustering data mining techniques with the algorithms like FF(Farthest First) method,

EM(Expectation Maximization) method, HCM(Hierarchical Clusterer Method) method, and k-

mean method. Each algorithm used to diagnosis’s the patient health condition. The author did the

implementation using the algorithm to calculate the healthy and sick patient. At the end of the

research k-mean and FF clustering algorithm are more helpful than the other two algorithms to

diagnosis the breast cancer of the patient [1]. The HCM algorithm having the highest error rate

and the EM algorithm cannot be able to diagnosis. To get the optimum outcome instead of using

four algorithms the author suggested using Orange, Tavera, and Rapid Miner mining tool [1].
