Abstract

Recently, genetic programming (GP) has been applied to the classification of gene expression data. In its typical implementation, using training data, a single rule or a single set of rules is evolved with GP, and then it is applied to test data to get generalised test accuracy. However, in most cases, the generalized test accuracy is not higher. In this paper, we propose a majority voting technique for prediction of the labels of test samples. Instead of a single rule or a single set of rules, we evolve multiple rules with GP and then apply those rules to test samples to determine their labels by using the majority voting technique. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method by performing different types of experiments on two microarray data sets.
