A Novel Method Based on Ant Colony Optimization for Gene Selection

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an ant colony optimization based method (AM) is proposed for gene selection. AM consists of two stages. In the first stage, some redundant genes are filtered by information gain (IG). In the second stage, a fuzzy adaptive ant colony optimization is applied to gene selection. We evaluate the performance of AM on five gene expression datasets, which have dimensions varying from 7129 to 12000. We also compare the performance of AM with the results obtained from four existing well-known optimization algorithms. The comparison details show that AM could get better classification accuracy.
