An Efficient statistical model based classification algorithm for classifying cancer gene expression data with minimal gene subsets

Data mining algorithms are extensively used to classify gene expression data, in which prediction of disease plays a vital role. This paper aims to develop a classification model for cancer gene expression data using minimal number of genes i.e. minimum gene subsets. The model uses classical statistical technique for gene ranking and two different classifiers for gene selection and prediction. The proposed method proves the capability of producing very high accuracy with very minimum number of genes. The methodology was tried with three publicly available cancer databases and the results were compared with the earlier approaches and proven better and promising prediction strength with less computational burden. This paper focuses on the importance of efficient gene selection method applied prior to classification will lead to good performance and the results are proven to be the best.
