Abstract

Accurate cancer classification and responses to treatment are important in clinical cancer research since cancer acts as a family of gene-based diseases. Microarray technology has widely developed to measure gene expression level changes under normal and experimental conditions. Normally, gene expression data are high dimensional and characterized by small sample sizes. Thus, feature selection is needed to find the smallest number of informative genes and improve the classification accuracy and the biological interpretability results. Due to some feature selection methods neglect the interactions among genes, thus, clustering is used to group the similar genes together. Besides, the quality of the selected data can determine the effectiveness of the classifiers. This research proposed clustering and feature selection approaches to classify the gene expression data of colorectal cancer. Subsequently, a feature selection approach based on centroid clustering provide higher classification accuracy compared with other approaches.
