Article Synopsis
- Microarray-based gene expression profiling is crucial for cancer-related tasks like classification and diagnosis, but it generates large, constantly changing datasets.
- Identifying significantly expressed genes is essential for understanding cancer, and current methods typically use a two-phase approach: feature selection/extraction followed by classification.
- The paper proposes new statistical methods using MapReduce for feature selection and implements a K-nearest neighbor classifier, demonstrating that these models process big data more efficiently than traditional methods within a Hadoop framework.
