Kshipra Chitode, Meghana Nagori . A Comparative Study of Microarray Data Analysis for Cancer Classification. International Journal of Computer Applications. 81, 15 ( November 2013), 14-18. DOI=10.5120/14198-2392
Cancer is most deadly human disease. According to WHO 7. 6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008 were caused by cancer. A Cancer diagnosis can be achieved with gene expression microarray data. Microarray allows monitoring of thousands of genes of a sample simultaneously. But all the genes in gene expression data are not informative. The relevant gene selection/extraction is the main challenge in microarray data analysis. Microarray data classification is two stage process i. e. features selection and classification. Feature selection techniques are used to extract a small subset of relevant genes without degrading the performance of classifier. The classifier uses these extracted relevant genes for cancer classification. In this review paper there is a comparative study of the feature selection and classification techniques. The evaluation criteria are applied to find out the best combination of feature selection and classification technique for accurate cancer classification
