A Clustering System for Gene Expression Data Based upon Genetic Programming and the HS-Model
Cluster analysis is a major method to study gene function and gene regulation information for there is a lack of prior knowledge for gene data. Many clustering methods existed at present usually need manual operations or predetermined parameters, which are difficult for gene data. Besides, gene data possess their own characteristics, such as large scale, high-dimension, and noise. Therefore, a systematic clustering algorithm should be proposed to effectively deal with gene data. In this paper, a novel genetic programming (GP) clustering system for gene data based on hierarchical statistical model (HS-model) is proposed. And an appropriate fitness function is also proposed in this system. This clustering system can largely eliminate the infection of data scale and dimension. The proposed GP clustering system is applied to cluster the whole intact yeast gene data without dimensionality reduction. The experimental results indicate that the algorithm is highly efficient and can effectively deal with missing values in gene dataset
