A new dimensionality reduction technique based on the Wavelet Transform for cancer classification by Lisardo Fernández, Mariano Pérez, Juan M. Orduña, José M. Alcaraz

“…Although the advent of methylation microarrays such as the HumanMethylation450 platform has greatly reduced the dimensionality of the problem from billions to 450K positions, this data size is still too large to be processed by machine learning algorithms for cancer prediction and classification. Aim In the particular case of methylation, an efficient dimensionality reduction technique should also preserve the spatial information of the original data in order to properly predict and classify cancer. …”
