Area of Science:

• Bioinformatics
• Computational Biology
• Genomics

Background:

• Accurate cancer subtype recognition and feature selection are critical for effective tumor diagnosis and treatment.
• Gene expression data presents challenges due to its high dimensionality and inherent noise.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a novel, optimized gene selection approach for high-dimensional gene expression data.
• To enhance the accuracy of tumor classification by identifying relevant gene subsets.

Main Methods:

• Summarized and analyzed Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) and Rough Set (RS) methods.
• Developed an optimized model combining LLE for dimension reduction and Neighborhood Rough Set (NRS) for feature reduction (LLE-NRS).
• Utilized Bhattacharyya distance, pairwise redundant analysis, and wavelet soft thresholding for data preprocessing and noise reduction.

Main Results:

• The proposed LLE-NRS method demonstrated superior performance in gene subset selection compared to other models.
• Experimental results validated the effectiveness of LLE-NRS in distinguishing tumor types with high classification accuracy.
• The approach proved feasible and effective for high-dimensional tumor classification tasks.

Conclusions:

• The LLE-NRS approach offers a significant advancement in gene selection for cancer research.
• This method enhances the accuracy and reliability of tumor classification based on gene expression data.
• The developed technique provides a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of various cancer subtypes.
