Gene expression from DNA microarray data offers biologists and pathologists the possibility to deal with the problem of disease (e. g. cancer) diagnosis and prognosis from a quantitative point of view. Microarray data provide a snapshot of the molecular status of a sample of cells in a given tissue, returning the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. Several mathematical methods from learning theory, such as Regularized Least Squares (RLS) classifiers or Support Vector Machines (SVM), have been extensively adopted to classify gene expression data. These methods can be useful to answer some relevant questions such as 1) what is the right amount of data to build an accurate classifier? 2) How many and which genes are correlated with a specific pathology?

Abstract
Gene expression from DNA microarray data offers biologists and pathologists the possibility to deal with the problem of disease (e. g. cancer) diagnosis and prognosis from a quantitative point of view. Microarray data provide a snapshot of the molecular status of a sample of cells in a given tissue, returning the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. Several mathematical methods from learning theory, such as Regularized Least Squares (RLS) classifiers or Support Vector Machines (SVM), have been extensively adopted to classify gene expression data. These methods can be useful to answer some relevant questions such as 1) what is the right amount of data to build an accurate classifier? 2) How many and which genes are correlated with a specific pathology?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
