Gene Expression Analysis Using Clustering
Abstract—Data Mining has become an important topic in effective analysis of gene expression data due to its wide application in the biomedical industry. In this paper, k-means clustering algorithm has been extensively studied for gene expression analysis. Since our purpose is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the k-means algorithm for a wide variety of data sets, Two pattern recognition data and thirteen microarray data sets with both overlapping and non-overlapping class boundaries were taken for studies, where the number of features/genes ranges from 4 to 7129 and number of sample ranges from 32 to 683. The number of clusters ranges from two to eleven. For pattern recognition, We use IRIS and WBCD data and for microarray data we use serum data (Iyer et. al.), yeast data (Cho et. al), leukemia data (Golub et. al), breast data (Golub et. al), Lymphoma data (Alizadeh et al.), lung cancer (Bhattacharjee et. al), and St. Jude leukemia data (Yeoh et. al). To identify common subtypes in independent disease data, four different types of breast data (Golub et. al) and four Diffused Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) data were used. Clustering error rate (or, clustering accuracy) is used as evaluation metrics to measure the performance of k-means algorithm.
