Steps followed are:
1. Introduction to SVM
Used SVM to build and train a model using human cell records, and classify cells to whether the samples are benign (mild state) or malignant (evil state).
SVM works by mapping data to a highdimensional feature space so that data points can be categorized, even when the data are not otherwise linearly separable (This gets done by kernel function of SVM classifier). A separator between the categories is found, then the data is transformed in such a way that the separator could be drawn as a hyperplane.

4. Load Data From CSV File
The characteristics of the cell samples from each patient are contained in fields Clump to Mit. The values are graded from 1 to 10, with 1 being the closest to benign.
The Class field contains the diagnosis, as confirmed by separate medical procedures, as to whether the samples are benign (value = 2) or malignant (value = 4).
5. Distribution of the classes
6. Selection of unwanted columns
7. Remove unwanted columns
8. Divide the data as Train/Test dataset
9. Modeling (SVM with Scikitlearn)
10. Evaluation (Results)
