Abstract

T-score between classes and gene expressions is widely used for gene ranking in microarray gene expression data analysis. We propose to use only support vector points for computation of t-scores for gene ranking. The proposed method uses backward elimination of features, similar to Support Vector Machine Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE) formulation, but achieves better results than SVM-RFE and t-score based feature selection on three benchmark cancer datasets.
