Abstract

The large number of genes in microarray data makes feature selection techniques more crucial than ever. From rank-based filter techniques to classifier-based wrapper techniques, many studies have devised their own feature selection techniques for microarray datasets. By combining the OVA (one-vs.-all) approach and differential prioritization in our feature selection technique, we ensure that class-specific relevant features are selected while guarding against redundancy in predictor set at the same time. In this paper we present the OVA version of our differential prioritization-based feature selection technique and demonstrate how it works better than the original SMA (single machine approach) version.
