Abstract

The last years as more and more reliable cancer data sets become available and more researchers work on them, the way that a drug is produced is changing. Knowledge about the mechanisms of a disease can be acquired from those data sets. Based on a resent analysis of gene expression data which addressed the prediction of recurrence risk in patients with clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma, we study in more detail the classification problem, whether a sample is healthy or unhealthy. Using a GMLVQ classifier we observe that even a simple classifier trained by a significant small number of random genes can achieve great results in respect of performance. At the end we show that, even the information to classify a sample as healthy or unhealthy is spread on many genes, still there is a level of significance between the genes.
