Feature Ranking by Classification Accuracy Estimation of Multiple Data Samples

This article considers the gene ranking algorithm for the microarray data. The rank vector is estimated by classifications of the random data samples. At each iteration, the ranks of genes participating in the successful classification become higher. Unlike other methods of feature selection, the proposed algorithm allows increasing the generality of the classification models by construction of the balanced training samples and taking into account the descriptiveness of the gene combinations by the subset estimation.
