For this question we will be using the BreastCancer data set from the mlbench library. To load the data into R, simply load the library, and then type: data("BreastCancer", package = "mlbench"). Once the data is loaded, we recommend removing the Id attribute, since this has no value for classification: BreastCancer$Id = NULL. Information about the data set can be found by typing ?BreastCancer into the console. (a) Set the seed of the rand...
