Abstract
Motivation: The standard L2-norm support vector machine (SVM) is a widely used tool for microarray classification. Previous studies have demonstrated its superior performance in terms of classification accuracy. However, a major limitation of the SVM is that it cannot automatically select relevant genes for the classification. The L1-norm SVM is a variant of the standard L2-norm SVM, that constrains the L1-norm of the fitted coefficients. Due to the singularity of the L1-norm, the L1-norm SVM has the property of automatically selecting relevant genes. On the other hand, the L1-norm SVM has two drawbacks: (1) the number of selected genes is upper bounded by the size of the training data; (2) when there are several highly correlated genes, the L1-norm SVM tends to pick only a few of them, and remove the rest.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
