Abstract

Gene expression datasets provide extensive information about various biological processes, but identifying important genes in high-dimensional data is challenging due to redundancy and irrelevant genes. To overcome this challenge, numerous feature selection (FS) techniques have been developed to identify significant genes amidst complex biological data. This research introduces a novel approach that combines the Brownian Motion Search Algorithm (BMSA) with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) for gene selection in breast cancer classification. Using the breast cancer dataset, our method efficiently identifies relevant gene subsets using BMSA and uses SVM for precise classification. The BMSA navigates the high-dimensional feature space to select relevant genes by simulating random motion, reducing redundancy and irrelevant genes. SVM evaluates these gene subsets for accurate classification. We assess the performance of the algorithm using diverse metrics, including the confusion matrix for accuracy and error distribution, the precision-recall curve for precision-recall balance, and the ROC curve for diagnostic ability. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach in achieving high classification accuracy. Specifically, the method achieves a best classification accuracy of 99.14 % on 16 genes, along with notable mean and worst-case performances. These results highlight the potential of the BMSA-SVM approach to provide accurate classifications and valuable insights into breast cancer-associated gene biomarkers, representing a significant advancement in bioinformatics and cancer research.
