Abstract

MOTIVATION: Cancer subtype classification has the potential to significantly improve disease prognosis and develop individualized patient management. Existing methods are limited by their ability to handle extremely high-dimensional data and by the influence of misleading, irrelevant factors, resulting in ambiguous and overlapping subtypes.
