Abstract
This paper highlights seven applications of various methods in soft computing to the task of ovarian cancer prognosis. Soft computing is described as well as its constituents. The ovarian cancer data is described. The task involves building a series of prognostic classifiers to carry out time-step prognosis. The results from the seven methods described are compared briefly, and also are compared with statistical multilinear regression analysis.
