Abstract
MOTIVATION: Studies have shown that classifying cancer subtypes can provide valuable information for a range of cancer research, from aetiology and tumour biology to prognosis and personalized treatment. Current methods usually adopt gene expression data to perform cancer subtype classification. However, cancer samples are scarce, and the high-dimensional features of their gene expression data are too sparse to allow most methods to achieve desirable classification results.
