Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Early detection of cancer allows better treatment for patients. One method to detect cancer is using microarray data classification. However, microarray data has high dimensions which complicates the classification process. Linear Discriminant Analysis is a classification technique which is easy to implement and has good accuracy. However, Linear Discriminant Analysis has difficulty in handling high dimensional data. Therefore, Principal
