Abstract

The aim of this research study is based on efficient gene selection and classification of microarray data analysis using hybrid machine learning algorithms. The beginning of microarray technology has enabled the researchers to quickly measure the position of thousands of genes expressed in an organic/biological tissue samples in a solitary experiment. One of the important applications of this microarray technology is to classify the tissue samples using their gene expression representation, identify numerous type of cancer. Cancer is a group of diseases in which a set of cells shows uncontrolled growth, instance that interrupts upon and destroys nearby tissues and spreading to other locations in the body via lymph or blood. Cancer has becomes a one of the major important disease in current scenario. DNA microarrays turn out to be an effectual tool utilized in molecular biology and cancer diagnosis. Microarrays can be measured to establish the relative quantity of mRNAs in two or additional organic/biological tissue samples for thousands/several thousands of genes at the same time. As the superiority of this technique become exactly analysis/identifying the suitable assessment of microarray data in various open issues. In the field of medical sciences multi-category cancer classification play a major important role to classify the cancer types according to the gene expression. The need of the cancer classification has been become indispensible, because the numbers of cancer victims are increasing steadily identified by recent years. To perform this proposed a combination of Integer-Coded Genetic Algorithm (ICGA) and Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC), coupled with an Adaptive Extreme Learning Machine (AELM), is used for gene selection and cancer classification. ICGA is used with ABC based AELM classifier to chose an optimal set of genes which results in an efficient hybrid algorithm that can handle sparse data and sample imbalance. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and the results are compared with existing methods.

Keywords:
