- Abstract
- Abstract - Computational methods have become an important tool in the analysis of medical data sets. In this paper, we apply three optimisation-based data mining methods to the following data sets: (i) a cystic fibrosis data set and (ii) a tobacco control data set. Three algorithms used in the analysis of these data sets include: the modified linear least square fit, an optimization based heuristic algorithm for feature selection and an optimization based clustering algorithm. All these methods explore the relationship between features and classes, with the aim of determining contribution of specific features to the class outcome. However, the three algorithms are based on completely different approaches. We apply these methods to solve feature selection and classification problems. We also present comparative analysis of the algorithms using computational results. Results obtained confirm that these algorithms may be effectively applied to the analysis of other (bio)medical data sets
