Abstract

When applied to genomic data, many popular unsupervised explorative data analysis tools based on clustering algorithms often fail due to their small cardinality and high dimensionality. In this paper we propose a wrapper method for gene selection based on simulated annealing and unsupervised clustering. The proposed approach, even if computationally intensive, permits to select the most relevant features (genes), and to rank their relevance, allowing to improve the results of clustering algorithms.
