Microarray data are often extremely asymmetric in dimensionality, such as thousands or even tens of thousands of genes but only a few hundreds of samples or less. Such extreme asymmetry between the dimensionality of genes and samples can lead to inaccurate diagnosis of disease in clinic. Therefore, it has been shown that selecting a small set of marker genes can lead to improved classification accuracy. In this paper, a simple modified ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed to selec ...[more]
