Presently, mammography is an uttermost important criterion for diagnosing breast cancer. In this work, image of breast cancer mass detection in mammograms with 1024\u00d71024 pixels is used as dataset. This work investigates the performance of various approaches on classification techniques. Overall support vector machine (SVM) performs better in terms of log-loss and classification accuracy rate than other underlying models. Therefore, further extensions (i.e., multi-model ensembles method, Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering and SVM combination method, and FCM clustering based SVM model) and comparison with SVM have been performed in this work. The segmentation by FCM clustering technique allows one piece of data to belong in two or more clusters. The additional parts are due to the segmented image to enhance the tumor-shape. Simulation provides the accuracy and the area under the ROC curve for mini-MIAS are 91.39% and 0.964 respectively which give the confirmation of the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm (FCM-based SVM). This method increases the classification accuracy in the case of a malignant tumor. The simulation is based on R-software.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation9050059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]],"date-time":"2021-05-18T12:17:16Z","timestamp":1621340236000},"page":"59","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Multi-Model Approach and Fuzzy Clustering for Mammogram Tumor to Improve Accuracy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Sarada","family":"Ghosh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, Howrah 711103, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2956-6265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guruprasad","family":"Samanta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, Howrah 711103, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9320-9433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"De la Sen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Research and Development of Processes, University of the Basque Country, 48940 Leioa, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2018, March 05).
