Abstract

In this paper a novel gene selection method based on personalized modeling is proposed and is compared with classical machine learning techniques to identify diagnostic gene targets and to use them for a successful diagnosis of a medical problem - acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). An analysis using the integrated approach of new data with the existing models is evaluated. Identifying a compact set of genes from gene expression data is a critical step in bioinformatics research. Personalized modeling is a recently introduced technique for constructing clinical decision support systems. This is a novel study which utilises both computational and biological evidence and the use of a personalized modeling for the analysis of this disease. Directions for further studies are also outlined.
