Classification Techniques in Gene Expression Microarray Data

Cancer nowadays is a common and heterogeneous disease affecting all people of all ages. Gene expression data can serve to understand cancer or other types of disease well. Building classification system using gene expression dataset that can properly classify new samples is a challenging task due to the nature of gene expression data that is usually composed of dozens of samples characterized by thousands of genes. This paper put a light on different classification methods used in classifying gene expression data including SVM, NB, C4.5 and some of the state-of-the-art techniques.
