Abstract Background Finding significant genes or proteins from gene chip data for disease diagnosis and drug development is an important task. However, the challenge comes from the curse of the data dimension. It is of great significance to use machine learning methods to find important features from the data and build an accurate classification model. Results The proposed method has proved superior to the published advanced hybrid feature selection method and traditional feature selection method on different public microarray data sets. In addition, the biomarkers selected using our method show a match to those provided by the cooperative hospital in a set of clinical cleft lip and palate data. Method In this paper, a feature selection algorithm ILRC based on clustering and improved L1 regularization is proposed. The features are firstly clustered, and the redundant features in the sub-clusters are deleted. Then all the remaining features are iteratively evaluated using ILR. The final result is given according to the cumulative weight reordering. Conclusion The proposed method can effectively remove redundant features. The algorithm’s output has high stability and classification accuracy, which can potentially select potential biomarkers.

In Microarray Data, it is complicated to achieve more classification accuracy due to the presence of high dimensions, irrelevant and noisy data. And also It had more gene expression data and fewer samples. To increase the classification accuracy and the processing speed of the model, an optimal number of features need to extract, this can be achieved by applying the feature selection method. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ensemble feature selection method. The proposed method has two phases, filter and wrapper phase in filter phase ensemble technique is used for aggregating the feature ranks of the Relief, minimum redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR), and Feature Correlation (FC) filter feature selection methods. This paper uses the Fuzzy Gaussian membership function ordering for aggregating the ranks. In wrapper phase, Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (IBPSO) is used for selecting the optimal features, and the RBF Kernel-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used as an evaluator. The performance of the proposed model are compared with state of art feature selection methods using five benchmark datasets. For evaluation various performance metrics such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F1-Score are used. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method outperforms the other feature selection methods.

Feature selection is a key step in hydraulic system fault diagnosis. Some of the collected features are unrelated to classification model, and some are high correlated to other features. These features are harmful for establishing classification model. In order to solve this problem, genetic algorithm-partial least squares (GA-PLS) is proposed for selecting the representative and optimal features. K nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN) is used for diagnosing and classifying hydraulic system faults. For expressing better performance of GA-PLS, the original data of a model engineering hydraulic system is used, and the results of GA-PLS are compared with all feature used and GA. The experimental results show that, the proposed feature method can diagnose and classify hydraulic system faults more efficiently with using fewer features.

Classification of cancers based on gene expressions produces better accuracy when compared to that of the clinical markers. Feature selection improves the accuracy of these classification algorithms by reducing the chance of overfitting that happens due to large number of features. We develop a new feature selection method called Biological Pathway-based Feature Selection (BPFS) for microarray data. Unlike most of the existing methods, our method integrates signaling and gene regulatory pathways with gene expression data to minimize the chance of overfitting of the method and to improve the test accuracy. Thus, BPFS selects a biologically meaningful feature set that is minimally redundant. Our experiments on published breast cancer datasets demonstrate that all of the top 20 genes found by our method are associated with cancer. Furthermore, the classification accuracy of our signature is up to 18% better than that of vant Veers 70 gene signature, and it is up to 8% better accuracy than the best published feature selection method, I-RELIEF.

Background: Microarray experiments can simultaneously determine the expression of thousands of genes. Identification of potential genes from microarray data for diagnosis of cancer is important. This study aimed to identify genes for the diagnosis of acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia using a sparse feature selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the expression of 7129 genes of 25 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and 47 patients with lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) achieved by the microarray technology were used in this study. Then, the important genes were identified using a sparse feature selection method to diagnose AML and ALL tissues based on the machine learning methods such as support vector machine (SVM), Gaussian kernel density estimation based classifier (GKDEC), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and linear discriminant classifier (LDC). Results: Diagnosis of ALL and AML was done with the accuracy of 100% using 8 genes of microarray data selected by the sparse feature selection method, GKDEC, and LDC. Moreover, the KNN classifier using 6 genes and the SVM classifier using 7 genes diagnosed AML and ALL with the accuracy of 91.18% and 94.12%, respectively. The gene with the description “Paired-box protein PAX2 (PAX2) gene, exon 11 and complete CDs” was determined as the most important gene in the diagnosis of ALL and AML. Conclusion: The experimental results of the current study showed that AML and ALL can be diagnosed with high accuracy using sparse feature selection and machine learning methods. It seems that the investigation of the expression of selected genes in this study can be helpful in the diagnosis of ALL and AML.
