DNA Microarray technology is an emergent field, which offers the possibility of obtaining simultaneous estimates of the expression levels of several thousand genes in an organism in a single experiment. One of the most significant challenges in this research field is to select high relevant genes from gene expression data. To address this problem, feature selection is a well-known technique to eliminate unnecessary genes in order to ensure accurate classification results. This paper proposes a binary version of Political Optimizer (PO) to solve feature selection problem using gene expression data. Two transfer functions are used to design a binary PO. The first one is based on Sigmoid function and will be noted as BPO-S, while the second one is based on V-shaped function and will be noted as BPO-V. The proposed methods are evaluated using 9 biological datasets and compared with 8 binary well-known metaheuristics. The comparative results show the prevalent performance of the BPO methods especially BPO-V in comparison with other techniques.

Single Experiment

The quantity of data required to give a valid analysis grows exponentially as machine learning dimensionality increases. In a single experiment, microarrays or gene expression profiling assesses and determines gene expression levels and patterns in various cell types or tissues. The advent of DNA microarray technology has enabled simultaneous intensive care of hundreds of gene expressions on a single chip, advancing cancer categorization. The most challenging aspect of categorization is working out many information points from many sources. The proposed approach uses microarray data to train deep learning algorithms on extracted features and then uses the Latent Feature Selection Technique to reduce classification time and increase accuracy. The feature-selection-based techniques will pick the important genes before classifying microarray data for cancer prediction and diagnosis. These methods improve classification accuracy by removing duplicate and superfluous information. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) technique of feature selection was proposed in this research using bone marrow PC gene expression data. The ABC algorithm, based on swarm intelligence, has been proposed for gene identification. The ABC has been used here for feature selection that generates a subset of features and every feature produced by the spectators, making this a wrapper-based feature selection system. This method’s main goal is to choose the fewest genes that are critical to PC performance while also increasing prediction accuracy. Convolutional Neural Networks were used to classify tumors without labelling them. Lung, kidney, and brain cancer datasets were used in the procedure’s training and testing stages. Using the cross-validation technique of k-fold methodology, the Convolutional Neural Network has an accuracy rate of 96.43%. The suggested research includes techniques for preprocessing and modifying gene expression data to enhance future cancer detection accuracy.

Aim and Objective: Cancer is a dangerous disease worldwide, caused by somatic mutations in the genome. Diagnosis of this deadly disease at an early stage is exceptionally new clinical application of microarray data. In DNA microarray technology, gene expression data have a high dimension with small sample size. Therefore, the development of efficient and robust feature selection methods is indispensable that identify a small set of genes to achieve better classification performance. Materials and Methods: In this study, we developed a hybrid feature selection method that integrates correlation-based feature selection (CFS) and Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) approaches which select the highly informative genes. The hybrid model with Redial base function neural network (RBFNN) classifier has been evaluated on 11 benchmark gene expression datasets by employing a 10-fold cross-validation test. Results: The experimental results are compared with seven conventional-based feature selection and other methods in the literature, which shows that our approach owned the obvious merits in the aspect of classification accuracy ratio and some genes selected by extensive comparing with other methods. Conclusion: Our proposed CFS-MOEA algorithm attained up to 100% classification accuracy for six out of eleven datasets with a minimal sized predictive gene subset.

Inference Methods

Several researchers have focused on random-forest-based inference methods because of their excellent performance. Some of these inference methods also have a useful ability to analyze both time-series and static gene expression data. However, they are only of use in ranking all of the candidate regulations by assigning them confidence values. None have been capable of detecting the regulations that actually affect a gene of interest. In this study, we propose a method to remove unpromising candidate regulations by combining the random-forest-based inference method with a series of feature selection methods. In addition to detecting unpromising regulations, our proposed method uses outputs from the feature selection methods to adjust the confidence values of all of the candidate regulations that have been computed by the random-forest-based inference method. Numerical experiments showed that the combined application with the feature selection methods improved the performance of the random-forest-based inference method on 99 of the 100 trials performed on the artificial problems. However, the improvement tends to be small, since our combined method succeeded in removing only 19% of the candidate regulations at most. The combined application with the feature selection methods moreover makes the computational cost higher. While a bigger improvement at a lower computational cost would be ideal, we see no impediments to our investigation, given that our aim is to extract as much useful information as possible from a limited amount of gene expression data.
