X Abstract

Mining subspace clusters from the DNA microarrays could help researchers identify those genes which commonly contribute to a disease, where a subspace cluster indicates a subset of genes whose expression levels are similar under a subset of conditions. Since in a DNA microarray, the number of genes is far larger than the number of conditions, those previous proposed algorithms which compute the maximum dimension sets (MDSs) for any two genes will take a long time to mine subspace clusters. In this article, we propose the Large Itemset-Based Clustering (LISC) algorithm for mining subspace clusters. Instead of constructing MDSs for any two genes, we construct only MDSs for any two conditions. Then, we transform the task of finding the maximal possible gene sets into the problem of mining large itemsets from the condition-pair MDSs. Since we are only interested in those subspace clusters with gene sets as large as possible, it is desirable to pay attention to those gene sets which have reasonable large support values in the condition-pair MDSs. From our simulation results, we show that the proposed algorithm needs shorter processing time than those previous proposed algorithms which need to construct gene-pair MDSs.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
