IGST.weight.bootmrmrsvm: Computation of weights for informative genes or gene set selection using SVM and MRMR feature selection technique with bootstrapping procedure

Description

The function computes the weights associated with each genes for a given dataset using SVM and MRMR feature selection technique with bootstrapping procedure.

Usage

IGST.weight.bootmrmrsvm (x, y, re, v)

Arguments

x

x is a n by p data frame of gene expression values where rows represent genes and columns represent samples. Each cell entry represents the expression level of a gene in a sample or subject (row names of x as gene names or gene ids).

y

y is a p by 1 numeric vector with entries 1 or -1 representing sample labels, where, 1\/-1 represents the sample label of subjects or samples for stress or control condition(for two class problems).

v

v is a scalar representing the weightage of a method and must be within 0 and 1.

re

re is a scalar representing the number of bootstrap generated, re must be sufficiently large (i.e. number of times bootstrap samples are generated.

Value

The function returns a vector of weights associated with each genes computed from SVM and MRMR feature selection technique with bootstrapping procedure for a given dataset.
