ABSTRACT
Cancers are generally caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells. Cancer has a reputation as a deadly disease hence cancer research is intense scientific effort to understand disease. Classification is a machine learning technique used to predict group membership for data instances. There are several classification techniques such as decision tree induction, Bayesian classifier, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), case-based reasoning, support vector machine (SVM), genetic algorithm etc. Feature selection for classification of cancer data is to discover gene expression profiles of diseased and healthy tissues and use the knowledge to predict the health state of new sample. It is usually impractical to go through all the details of the features before picking up the right features. This paper provides a model for feature selection using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranking. Basically we have proposed two approaches of feature selection. In first approach, the genes of microarray data is clustered by k-means clustering and then SNR ranking is implemented to get top ranked features from each cluster and given to two classifiers for validation such as SVM and k-NN. In the second approach the features (genes) of microarray data set is ranked by implementing only SNR ranking and top scored feature are given to the classifier and validated. We have tested Leukemia data set for the proposed approach and 10fold cross validation method to validate the classifiers. The 10fold validation result of two approaches is compared with hold out validation result and again with results of leave one out cross validation (LOOCV) of different approaches in the literature. From the experimental evaluation we got 99.3% accuracy in first approach for both k-NN and SVM classifiers with five numbers of genes and with 10fold cross validation method. The accuracy result is compared with the accuracy of different methods available in the literature for leukemia data set with LOOCV, where only multiple-filter-multiple wrapper approach gives 100% accuracy in LOOCV with leukemia data set.
