A Comparative Study Of Different Machine Learning Methods On Microarray Gene Expression Data, Mehdi Pirooznia, Jack Y. Yang, Mary Qu Yang, Youping Deng

Faculty Publications

Background

Several classification and feature selection methods have been studied for the identification of differentially expressed genes in microarray data. Classification methods such as SVM, RBF Neural Nets, MLP Neural Nets, Bayesian, Decision Tree and Random Forrest methods have been used in recent studies. The accuracy of these methods has been calculated with validation methods such as v-fold validation. However there is lack of comparison between these methods to find a better framework for classification, clustering and analysis of microarray gene expression results.

Results

In this study, we compared the efficiency of the classification methods including; SVM, RBF Neural Nets, …

A Hybrid Machine Learning-Based Method For Classifying The Cushing's Syndrome With Comorbid Adrenocortical Lesions, Jack Y. Yang, Mary Qu Yang, Zuojie Lao, Yan Ma, Jianling Li, Youping Deng, Xudong Huang

Faculty Publications

Background

The prognosis for many cancers could be improved dramatically if they could be detected while still at the microscopic disease stage. It follows from a comprehensive statistical analysis that a number of antigens such as hTERT, PCNA and Ki-67 can be considered as cancer markers, while another set of antigens such as P27KIP1 and FHIT are possible markers for normal tissue. Because more than one marker must be considered to obtain a classification of cancer or no cancer, and if cancer, to classify it as malignant, borderline, or benign, we must develop an intelligent decision system that can fullfill …

Investigation Of Transmembrane Proteins Using A Computational Approach, Jack Y. Yang, Mary Qu Yang, Keith A. Dunker, Youping Deng, Xudong Huang

Faculty Publications

Background

An important subfamily of membrane proteins are the transmembrane α-helical proteins, in which the membrane-spanning regions are made up of α-helices. Given the obvious biological and medical significance of these proteins, it is of tremendous practical importance to identify the location of transmembrane segments. The difficulty of inferring the secondary or tertiary structure of transmembrane proteins using experimental techniques has led to a surge of interest in applying techniques from machine learning and bioinformatics to infer secondary structure from primary structure in these proteins. We are therefore interested in determining which physicochemical properties are most useful for discriminating transmembrane …

Post-Divorce Adjustment And Social Relationships, Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso, Carissa Coit, Sarah Martin, Wendy Fogo

All Faculty Open Access Publications

A meta-analysis was conducted on the role of social relationships in adults' post-divorce adjustment. Twenty-one studies were coded and rich information was gained by comparing “specific relationships” (one-on-one contact with a specific person, such as a friend) with “network relationships” (being part of a group, such as a support group or church community), and by taking into account positive adjustment versus maladjustment, as well as other components of post-divorce adjustment (well-being, affect, psychopathology, and physiological symptoms). The findings indicated that social relationships during the post-divorce period are associated with higher levels of positive adjustment and lower levels of maladjustment. In …
