+Lung Cancer Prediction
+Machine Learning Model for Early Risk Assessment
+
+📌 Overview
+This repository hosts a machine learning project designed to predict the likelihood of lung cancer in patients based on clinical and demographic data. The goal is to aid early diagnosis by analyzing risk factors such as age, smoking history, genetic markers, and lifestyle habits. Built with Python and scikit-learn, the project includes data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation to deliver actionable insights for healthcare applications.
+
+🔑 Key Features
+Predictive Modeling: Implements algorithms like Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost to classify cancer risk.
+
+Data Analysis: Explores relationships between risk factors (e.g., smoking, pollution exposure, genetic history) and outcomes.
+
+Ethical AI: Emphasizes privacy-aware data handling and bias mitigation.
+
+📂 Dataset
+Source: Lung Cancer Prediction Dataset (e.g., Kaggle/UCI).
+
+Features: Age, gender, smoking status, air pollution exposure, genetic risk, chronic lung disease history, and more.
+
+Preprocessing: Handles missing values, outliers, and categorical encoding.
+
+🛠️ Installation
+Clone the repository:
+
+bash
+git clone https://github.com/ComputerVision804/lung-cancer-prediction.git  
+Install dependencies:
+
+bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt  # includes pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib  
+🚀 Usage
+📊 Results
+Best Model: XGBoost achieved 92% accuracy and 0.94 AUC-ROC.
+
+Key Insights: Smoking duration and genetic risk showed the highest correlation with lung cancer.
