  • Abstract
    This paper presents a new clustering technique namely Modified k-Means Clustering (MkMC) which is devised by fusing the principle of k-Means clustering and k-Midrange clustering. The results of MkMC enclose the fact that the degree of accuracy of clustering and the substantial mass identification is higher than the base methods. Thus this method provides greater scope for breast cancer prognosis.
