Abstract
Recent breakthroughs are making a significant contribution to big data in biomedicine which are anticipated to assist in disease diagnosis and patient care management. To obtain relevant information from this data, effective administration and analysis are required. One of the major challenges associated with biomedical data analysis is the so-called "curse of dimensionality". For this issue, a new version of Binary Sand Cat Swarm Optimization (called PILC-BSCSO), incorporating a pinhole-imaging-based learning strategy and crossover operator, is presented for selecting the most informative features. First, the crossover operator is used to strengthen the search capability of BSCSO. Second, the pinhole-imaging learning strategy is utilized to effectively increase exploration capacity while avoiding premature convergence. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier with a linear kernel is used to assess classification accuracy. The experimental results show that the PILC-BSCSO algorithm beats 11 cutting-edge techniques in terms of classification accuracy and the number of selected features using three public medical datasets. Moreover, PILC-BSCSO achieves a classification accuracy of 100% for colon cancer, which is difficult to classify accurately, based on just 10 genes. A real Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-HCC) data set was also used to further evaluate the effectiveness of the PILC-BSCSO approach. PILC-BSCSO identifies a subset of five marker genes, including prognostic biomarkers HMMR, CHST4, and COL15A1, that have excellent predictive potential for liver cancer using TCGA data.

Abstract
Over the years, many studies have been carried out to reduce and eliminate the effects of diseases on human health. Gene expression data sets play a critical role in diagnosing and treating diseases. These data sets consist of thousands of genes and a small number of sample sizes. This situation creates the curse of dimensionality and it becomes problematic to analyze such data sets. One of the most effective strategies to solve this problem is feature selection methods. Feature selection is a preprocessing step to improve classification performance by selecting the most relevant and informative features while increasing the accuracy of classification. In this article, we propose a new statistically based filter method for the feature selection approach named Effective Range-based Feature Selection Algorithm (FSAER). As an extension of the previous Effective Range based Gene Selection (ERGS) and Improved Feature Selection based on Effective Range (IFSER) algorithms, our novel method includes the advantages of both methods while taking into account the disjoint area. To illustrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm, the experiments have been conducted on six benchmark gene expression data sets. The results of the FSAER and the other filter methods have been compared in terms of classification accuracies to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. For classification methods, support vector machines, naive Bayes classifier, and k-nearest neighbor algorithms have been used.

Abstract
Medical datasets are primarily made up of numerous pointless and redundant elements in a collection of patient records. None of these characteristics are necessary for a medical decision-making process. Conversely, a large amount of data leads to increased dimensionality and decreased classifier performance in terms of machine learning. Numerous approaches have recently been put out to address this issue, and the results indicate that feature selection can be a successful remedy. To meet the various needs of input patterns, medical diagnostic tasks typically involve learning a suitable categorization model. The k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm (kNN) classifier's classification performance is typically decreased by the input variables' abundance of irrelevant features. To simplify the kNN classifier, essential attributes of the input variables have been searched using the feature selection approach. This paper presents the Coati Optimization Algorithm (DCOA) in a dynamic form as a feature selection technique where each iteration of the optimization process involves the introduction of a different feature. We enhance the exploration and exploitation capability of DCOA by employing dynamic opposing candidate solutions. The most impressive feature of DCOA is that it does not require any preparatory parameter fine-tuning to the most popular metaheuristic algorithms. The CEC'22 test suite and nine medical datasets with various dimension sizes were used to evaluate the performance of the original COA and the proposed dynamic version. The statistical results were validated using the Bonferroni-Dunn test and Kendall's W test and showed the superiority of DCOA over seven well-known metaheuristic algorithms with an overall accuracy of 89.7%, a feature selection of 24%, a sensitivity of 93.35% a specificity of 96.81%, and a precision of 93.90%.

Abstract
The retrieval of important information from a dataset requires applying a special data mining technique known as data clustering (DC). DC classifies similar objects into a groups of similar characteristics. Clustering involves grouping the data around k-cluster centres that typically are selected randomly. Recently, the issues behind DC have called for a search for an alternative solution. Recently, a nature-based optimization algorithm named Black Hole Algorithm (BHA) was developed to address the several well-known optimization problems. The BHA is a metaheuristic (population-based) that mimics the event around the natural phenomena of black holes, whereby an individual star represents the potential solutions revolving around the solution space. The original BHA algorithm showed better performance compared to other algorithms when applied to a benchmark dataset, despite its poor exploration capability. Hence, this paper presents a multi-population version of BHA as a generalization of the BHA called MBHA wherein the performance of the algorithm is not dependent on the best-found solution but a set of generated best solutions. The method formulated was subjected to testing using a set of nine widespread and popular benchmark test functions. The ensuing experimental outcomes indicated the highly precise results generated by the method compared to BHA and comparable algorithms in the study, as well as excellent robustness. Furthermore, the proposed MBHA achieved a high rate of convergence on six real datasets (collected from the UCL machine learning lab), making it suitable for DC problems. Lastly, the evaluations conclusively indicated the appropriateness of the proposed algorithm to resolve DC issues.

Montesinos-López OA, Montesinos-López A. Two simple methods to improve the accuracy of the genomic selection methodology. BMC Genomics 2023; 24:220. [PMID: 37101112 PMCID: PMC10131336 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-023-09294-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genomic selection (GS) is revolutionizing plant and animal breeding. However, still its practical implementation is challenging since it is affected by many factors that when they are not under control make this methodology not effective. Also, due to the fact that it is formulated as a regression problem in general has low sensitivity to select the best candidate individuals since a top percentage is selected according to a ranking of predicted breeding values. RESULTS For this reason, in this paper we propose two methods to improve the prediction accuracy of this methodology. One of the methods consist in reformulating the GS (nowadays formulated as a regression problem) methodology as a binary classification problem. The other consists only in a postprocessing step that adjust the threshold used for classification of the lines predicted in its original scale (continues scale) to guarantee similar sensitivity and specificity. The postprocessing method is applied for the resulting predictions after obtaining the predictions using the conventional regression model. Both methods assume that we defined with anticipation a threshold, to divide the training data as top lines and not top lines, and this threshold can be decided in terms of a quantile (for example 80%, 90%, etc.) or as the average (or maximum) of the performance of the checks. In the reformulation method it is required to label as one those lines in the training set that are equal or larger than the specified threshold and as zero otherwise. Then we train a binary classification model with the conventional inputs, but using the binary response variable in place of the continuous response variable. The training of the binary classification should be done to guarantee a more similar sensitivity and specificity, to guarantee a reasonable probability of classification of the top lines. CONCLUSIONS We evaluated the proposed models in seven data sets and we found that the two proposed methods outperformed by large margin the conventional regression model (by 402.9% in terms of sensitivity, by 110.04% in terms of F1 score and by 70.96% in terms of Kappa coefficient, with the postprocessing methods). However, between the two proposed methods the postprocessing method was better than the reformulation as binary classification model. The simple postprocessing method to improve the accuracy of the conventional genomic regression models avoid the need to reformulate the conventional regression models as binary classification models with similar or better performance, that significantly improve the selection of the top best candidate lines. In general both proposed methods are simple and can easily be adopted for use in practical breeding programs, with the guarantee that will improve significantly the selection of the top best candidates lines.

Abstract
In biomedical data mining, the gene dimension is often much larger than the sample size. To solve this problem, we need to use a feature selection algorithm to select feature gene subsets with a strong correlation with phenotype to ensure the accuracy of subsequent analysis. This paper presents a new three-stage hybrid feature gene selection method, that combines a variance filter, extremely randomized tree, and whale optimization algorithm. First, a variance filter is used to reduce the dimension of the feature gene space, and an extremely randomized tree is used to further reduce the feature gene set. Finally, the whale optimization algorithm is used to select the optimal feature gene subset. We evaluate the proposed method with three different classifiers in seven published gene expression profile datasets and compare it with other advanced feature selection algorithms. The results show that the proposed method has significant advantages in a variety of evaluation indicators.

Abstract
Background Gene expression data are often used to classify cancer genes. In such high-dimensional datasets, however, only a few feature genes are closely related to tumors. Therefore, it is important to accurately select a subset of feature genes with high contributions to cancer classification. Methods In this article, a new three-stage hybrid gene selection method is proposed that combines a variance filter, extremely randomized tree and Harris Hawks (VEH). In the first stage, we evaluated each gene in the dataset through the variance filter and selected the feature genes that meet the variance threshold. In the second stage, we use extremely randomized tree to further eliminate irrelevant genes. Finally, we used the Harris Hawks algorithm to select the gene subset from the previous two stages to obtain the optimal feature gene subset. Results We evaluated the proposed method using three different classifiers on eight published microarray gene expression datasets. The results showed a 100% classification accuracy for VEH in gastric cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and ovarian cancer, and an average classification accuracy of 95.33% across a variety of other cancers. Compared with other advanced feature selection algorithms, VEH has obvious advantages when measured by many evaluation criteria.

Abstract
Microarray data classification is one of the hottest issues in the field of bioinformatics due to its efficiency in diagnosing patients' ailments. But the difficulty is that microarrays possess a huge number of genes where the majority of which are redundant or irrelevant resulting in the deterioration of classification accuracy. For this issue, mutated binary Aquila Optimizer (MBAO) with a time-varying mirrored S-shaped (TVMS) transfer function is proposed as a new wrapper gene (or feature) selection method to find the optimal subset of informative genes. The suggested hybrid method utilizes Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) as a filtering approach to choose top-ranked genes in the first stage and then uses MBAO-TVMS as an efficient wrapper approach to identify the most discriminative genes in the second stage. TVMS is adopted to transform the continuous version of Aquila Optimizer (AO) to binary one and a mutation mechanism is incorporated into binary AO to aid the algorithm to escape local optima and improve its global search capabilities. The suggested method was tested on eleven well-known benchmark microarray datasets and compared to other current state-of-the-art methods. Based on the obtained results, mRMR-MBAO confirms its superiority over the mRMR-BAO algorithm and the other comparative GS approaches on the majority of the medical datasets strategies in terms of classification accuracy and the number of selected genes. R codes of MBAO are available at https://github.com/el-pashaei/MBAO.

Abstract
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD), a slow-progressing neurological disease, affects a large percentage of the world’s elderly population, and this population is expected to grow over the next decade. As a result, early detection is crucial for community health and the future of the globe in order to take proper safeguards and have a less arduous treatment procedure. Recent research has begun to focus on the motor system deficits caused by PD. Because practically most of the PD patients suffer from voice abnormalities, researchers working on automated diagnostic systems investigate vocal impairments. In this paper, we undertake extensive experiments with features extracted from voice signals. We propose a layer Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based diagnosis for PD. To prove the efficiency of the model, different network models are compared. To the best of our knowledge, several neural network topologies, namely RNN, Cascade Forward Neural Networks (CFNN), and Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNN), are used and compared for voice-based PD detection for the first time. In addition, the impacts of data normalization and feature selection (FS) are thoroughly examined. The findings reveal that normalization increases classifier performance and Laplacian-based FS outperforms. The proposed RNN model with 300 voice features achieves 99.74% accuracy.

Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Based on Scale-Free Network for Epistasis Detection. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13050871.

Abstract
In genome-wide association studies, epistasis detection is of great significance for the occurrence and diagnosis of complex human diseases, but it also faces challenges such as high dimensionality and a small data sample size. In order to cope with these challenges, several swarm intelligence methods have been introduced to identify epistasis in recent years. However, the existing methods still have some limitations, such as high-consumption and premature convergence. In this study, we proposed a multi-objective artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm based on the scale-free network (SFMOABC). The SFMOABC incorporates the scale-free network into the ABC algorithm to guide the update and selection of solutions. In addition, the SFMOABC uses mutual information and the K2-Score of the Bayesian network as objective functions, and the opposition-based learning strategy is used to improve the search ability. Experiments were performed on both simulation datasets and a real dataset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The results of the simulation experiments showed that the SFMOABC has better detection power and efficiency than seven other epistasis detection methods. In the real AMD data experiment, most of the single nucleotide polymorphism combinations detected by the SFMOABC have been shown to be associated with AMD disease. Therefore, SFMOABC is a promising method for epistasis detection.

Abstract
Simple Summary Due to lacking exploitation capability, traditional genetic algorithm cannot accurately identify the minimal best gene subset. Thus, the improved splicing method is introduced into a genetic algorithm to enhance exploitation capability for achieving balance between exploitation and exploration of GA. It can effectively identify true gene subsets with high probability. Furthermore, a dataset of the body weight of Hu sheep has been used to show that the proposed method can obtain a better minimal subset of genes with a few iterations, compared with all considered algorithms including genetic algorithm and adaptive best-subset selection algorithm. Abstract Selecting the minimal best subset out of a huge number of factors for influencing the response is a fundamental and very challenging NP-hard problem because the presence of many redundant genes results in over-fitting easily while missing an important gene can more detrimental impact on predictions, and computation is prohibitive for exhaust search. We propose a modified memetic algorithm (MA) based on an improved splicing method to overcome the problems in the traditional genetic algorithm exploitation capability and dimension reduction in the predictor variables. The new algorithm accelerates the search in identifying the minimal best subset of genes by incorporating it into the new local search operator and hence improving the splicing method. The improvement is also due to another two novel aspects: (a) updating subsets of genes iteratively until the no more reduction in the loss function by splicing and increasing the probability of selecting the true subsets of genes; and (b) introducing add and del operators based on backward sacrifice into the splicing method to limit the size of gene subsets. Additionally, according to the experimental results, our proposed optimizer can obtain a better minimal subset of genes with a few iterations, compared with all considered algorithms. Moreover, the mutation operator is replaced by it to enhance exploitation capability and initial individuals are improved by it to enhance efficiency of search. A dataset of the body weight of Hu sheep was used to evaluate the superiority of the modified MA against the genetic algorithm. According to our experimental results, our proposed optimizer can obtain a better minimal subset of genes with a few iterations, compared with all considered algorithms including the most advanced adaptive best-subset selection algorithm.
