Gene Selection for Microarray Data by a LDA-Based Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gene selection aims at identifying a (small) subset of informative genes from the initial data in order to obtain high predictive accuracy. This paper introduces a new wrapper approach to this difficult task where a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is combined with Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). This LDA-based GA algorithm has the major characteristic that the GA uses not only a LDA classifier in its fitness function, but also LDA’s discriminant coefficients in its dedicated crossover and mutation operators. The proposed algorithm is assessed on a set of seven well-known datasets from the literature and compared with 16 state-of-art algorithms. The results show that our LDA-based GA obtains globally high classification accuracies (81%-100%) with a very small number of genes (2-19).

متن کاملSFLA Based Gene Selection Approach for Improving Cancer Classification Accuracy
In this paper, we propose a new gene selection algorithm based on Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm that is called SFLA-FS. The proposed algorithm is used for improving cancer classification accuracy. Most of the biological datasets such as cancer datasets have a large number of genes and few samples. However, most of these genes are not usable in some tasks for example in cancer classification....
متن کاملIdentification of Alzheimer disease-relevant genes using a novel hybrid method
Identifying genes underlying complex diseases/traits that generally involve multiple etiological mechanisms and contributing genes is difficult. Although microarray technology has enabled researchers to investigate gene expression changes, but identifying pathobiologically relevant genes remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we apply a new method for selecting the disease-relevant gen...
متن کاملFeature selection using genetic algorithm for classification of schizophrenia using fMRI data
In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In the preprocessing step, the number of fMRI time points is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for further data analysis. It estimates independent components (ICs) of...
