# Lung Cancer Risk Classification Dataset

## Purpose
This dataset is designed for building machine learning models to **predict the risk level of lung cancer** based on patient demographics, lifestyle, and medical history.  
It can be used for **research, model training, and educational purposes** in healthcare AI applications.  
The dataset contains **23 input features** and one target label (`Level`) with three classes:  
- Low (0)  
- Medium (1)  
- High (2)

### Recommended Usage
1. **Load the dataset** using the `datasets` library:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("edcelbogs/lung-cancer-classification")



### Prepare for training in TensorFlow or PyTorch:

#Example Convert to TensorFlow dataset:

tf_dataset = dataset["train"].to_tf_dataset(
    columns=[c for c in dataset["train"].column_names if c != "Level"],
    label_cols="Level",
    shuffle=True,
    batch_size=32
)
