Effects of gene selection and data sampling on prediction of breast cancer treatments
- Date Issued:
- 2014
- Summary:
- In recent years more and more researchers have begun to use data mining and machine learning tools to analyze gene microarray data. In this thesis we have collected a selection of datasets revolving around prediction of patient response in the specific area of breast cancer treatment. The datasets collected in this paper are all obtained from gene chips, which have become the industry standard in measurement of gene expression. In this thesis we will discuss the methods and procedures used in the studies to analyze the datasets and their effects on treatment prediction with a particular interest in the selection of genes for predicting patient response. We will also analyze the datasets on our own in a uniform manner to determine the validity of these datasets in terms of learning potential and provide strategies for future work which explore how to best identify gene signatures.
