Abstract

This paper presents decision-based fusion models to classify BRCA1, BRCA2 and Sporadic genetic mutations for breast and ovarian cancer. Different ensembles of base classifiers using the stacked generalization technique have been proposed including Support Vector Machines (SVM) with linear, polynomial and radial base function kernels. A Generalized Regression Neural Networks (GRNN) is then applied to predict the mutation type based on the outputs of base classifiers, and experimental results will show that the new proposed fusion methodology for selecting the best and removing weak classifiers outperforms single classification models.
