Subtype classification of Human Breast Cancer via Kernel methods and Pattern Analysis of Clinical Outcome over the feature space

Kernel Methods를 이용한 Human Breast Cancer의 subtype의 분류 및 Feature space에서 Clinical Outcome의 pattern 분석

This paper addresses a problem of classifying human breast cancer into its subtypes. A main ingredient in our approach is kernel machines such as support vector machine (SVM). kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). and kernel partial least squares (KPLS). In the task of breast cancer classification, we employ both SVM and KPLS and compare their results. In addition to this classification. we also analyze the patterns of clinical outcomes in the feature space. In order to visualize the clinical outcomes in low-dimensional space, both KPCA and KPLS are used. It turns out that these methods are useful to identify correlations between clinical outcomes and the nonlinearly protected expression profiles in low-dimensional feature space.
