Bioinformatic techniques targeting gene expression data require specific analysis pipelines with the aim of studying properties, adaptation, and disease outcomes in a sample population. Present investigation compared together results of four numerical experiments modeling survival rates from bladder cancer genetic profiles. Research showed that a sequence of two discretization phases produced remarkable results compared to a classic approach employing one discretization of gene expression data. Analysis involving two discretization phases consisted of a primary discretizer followed by refinement or pre-binning input values before the main discretization scheme. Among all tests, the best model encloses a sequence of data transformation to compensate skewness, data discretization phase with class-attribute interdependence maximization algorithm, and final classification by voting feature intervals, a classifier that also provides discrete interval optimization.

Abstract
Bioinformatic techniques targeting gene expression data require specific analysis pipelines with the aim of studying properties, adaptation, and disease outcomes in a sample population. Present investigation compared together results of four numerical experiments modeling survival rates from bladder cancer genetic profiles. Research showed that a sequence of two discretization phases produced remarkable results compared to a classic approach employing one discretization of gene expression data. Analysis involving two discretization phases consisted of a primary discretizer followed by refinement or pre-binning input values before the main discretization scheme. Among all tests, the best model encloses a sequence of data transformation to compensate skewness, data discretization phase with class-attribute interdependence maximization algorithm, and final classification by voting feature intervals, a classifier that also provides discrete interval optimization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
