Abstract:

The gene selection method which combines principal component analysis with shape analysis does not effectively use the class information on samples. Aiming at this shortcoming,a new gene selection method combining margin maximizing discriminant analysis with shape analysis is presented in this paper. In the gene selection process, the new method considers not only the interaction between genes but also the relationship between genes and class label, which improves the classification performance of selected genes. Experimental results on four microarray gene expression data show that the performance of the presented method is superior to that of the method which combines principal component analysis with shape analysis. Compared with two state-of-the-art multivariable filter methods, the presented method also has a certain advantage.

Key words: gene selection, microarray data, procrustes analysis, margin maximizing discriminant analysis
