van't Veer et al. (2002) Breast cancer data set | [X] |
Short description: Samples from Breast cancer patients were subdivided in a "good prognosis" (0) and "poor prognosis" (1) group depending on the occurrence of distant metastases within 5 years. The data set is pre-processed as described in the original paper and was obtained from the R package "DENMARKLAB" (Fridlyand and Yang, 2004).

Hall's CFS - Combinatorial Feature Selection | [X] |
Short description: Hall's CFS is a combinatorial correlation-based feature selection algorithm. A greedy-best first search strategy is used to identify features with high correlation to the response variable but low correlation amongst each other based on the following scoring function: where S is the selected subset with k features and is the average feature-class correlation and the average feature-feature correlation. References: - Hall, M.A., Correlation-based feature selection for discrete and numeric class machine learning, Proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Machine Learning (2000), p. 359-366 |
PLS-CV - Partial Least Squares Cross-Validation | [X] |
Short description: The importance of features is estimated based on the magnitudes of the coefficients obtained from training a Partial Least Squares classifier. The number of PLS-components n is selected based on the cross-validation accuracies for 20 random 2/3-partitions of the data for all possible values of n. We use the PLS-implementation in R by Boulesteix et al.

Significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) | [X] |
Short description: SAM (Tusher et al., 2001) is a method to detect differentially expressed genes that uses permutations of the measurements to assign significance values to selected genes. Based on the expression level change in relation to the standard deviation across the measurements a score is calculated for each gene and the genes are filtered according to a user-adjustable threshold (delta). The False Discovery Rate (FDR), i.e. the percentage of genes selected by chance, is then estimated from multiple permutations of the measurements. We use the standard SAM-implementation from the samr-package (v1.25).

Empirical Bayes moderated t-test (eBayes) | [X] |
Short description: The empirical Bayes moderated t-statistic (eBayes, Loennstedt et al., 2002) ranks genes by testing whether all pairwise contrasts between different outcome-classes are zero. An empirical Bayes method is used to shrink the probe-wise sample-variances towards a common value and to augment the degrees of freedom for the individual variances (Smyth, 2004). For multiclass problems the F-statistic is computed as an overall test from the t-statistics for every genetic probe. We use the eBayes-implementation in the R-package limma (v2.12).

RF-MDA - Random Forest Feature Selection | [X] |
Short description: A random forest (RF) classifier with 200 trees is applied and the importance of features is estimated by means of the mean decrease in accuracy (MDA) for the out-of-bag samples. We use the RF implementation from the "randomForest" R-package based on L. Breiman's random forest algorithm. References: - Breiman, L. (2001), Random Forests, Machine Learning 45(1), p. 5-32 |
ENSEMBLE - Ensemble Feature Selection | [X] |
Short description: This selection method combines the eBayes, SAM, PLS-CV and and RF-MDA selection schemes to an ensemble feature ranking. The CFS method is not included, because it is designed to remove redundant features, which can be useful for machine learning purposes but might also be undesirable for the direct interpretation of gene selection results (interesting genes might be filtered out, if they have high correlation to other selected genes). All methods receive the same weight and the final ranking is obtained from the sum of the individual ranks. |
