Abstract

The selection of relevant genes in microarray is an important task, since that in a single experiment expressions of thousands of genes are extracted. One way to evaluate feature selection methods in a dataset is by clustering the instances that have similar behaviors. The aim of this paper is to use a set of indexes that measure the quality of a clustering and, through the multiobjective optimization of this set, to show how it is possible to find the best feature selection methods in genes expression datasets obtained by microarray technique.
