Two-Stage Hybrid Gene Selection Using Mutual Information and Genetic Algorithm for Cancer Data Classification

Cancer is a deadly disease which requires a very complex and costly treatment. Microarray data classification plays an important role in cancer treatment. An efficient gene selection technique to select the more promising genes is necessary for cancer classification. Here, we propose a Two-stage MI-GA Gene Selection algorithm for selecting informative genes in cancer data classification. In the first stage, Mutual Information based gene...
