An efficient multivariate feature ranking method for gene selection in high-dimensional microarray data

作者:

Highlights:

• Classification of microarray data plays a significant role in the diagnosis of cancer.

• Feature selection is necessary for better analysis due to its high-dimensionality.

• An efficient multivariate feature selection method is proposed for microarray data.

• We demonstrate its usefulness of high accuracy and good efficiency using real data.

• The method outperforms other comparable gene selection methods in terms of accuracy.
