Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms applied to Feature Selection in Microarrays Cancer Data

Microarray analysis of gene expression is a current topic for the diagnosis and classification of human cancer. A gene expression data microarray consists of an array of thousands of features of which most are irrelevant for classifying patterns of gene expressions. Choosing a minimal subset of feat...

Description
Summary:Microarray analysis of gene expression is a current topic for the diagnosis and classification of human cancer. A gene expression data microarray consists of an array of thousands of features of which most are irrelevant for classifying patterns of gene expressions. Choosing a minimal subset of features for classification is a difficult task. In this work, a comparison is made between two multi-objective evolutionary algorithms applied to sets of gene expressions popular in the literature (lymphoma, leukemia and colon). In order to remove the strongly correlated characteristics, a pre-processing stage is performed. An extensive and detailed analysis of the results obtained for the selected multi-objective algorithms is shown.
