Abstract

BACKGROUND: The discovery of critical biomarkers is significant for clinical diagnosis, drug research and development. Researchers usually obtain biomarkers from microarray data, which comes from the dimensional curse. Feature selection in machine learning is usually used to solve this problem. However, most methods do not fully consider feature dependence, especially the real pathway relationship of genes.
