Abstract

The microarray data classification problem is a recent complex pattern recognition problem. The most important goal in supervised classification of microarray data, is to select a small number of relevant genes from the initial data in order to obtain high predictive classification accuracy. With the framework of a hybrid filter-wrapper, we study in this paper the role of the multi-parent recombination operator. For this purpose, we introduce a Random Multi Parent crossover (RMPX) and we analyze their effects in a genetic algorithm (GA) which is combined with Fisher's Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). This hybrid algorithm has the major characteristic that the GA uses not only a LDA classifier in its fitness function, but also LDA's discriminant coefficients to integrate a multi-parent specialized crossover and mutation operation to improve the performance of gene selection. In the experimental results it is observed that RPMX operator work very well by achieving lower classification error rates.
