Abstract
Standard data analysis techniques for biomedical problems cannot take into account existing prior knowledge, and available literature results cannot be incorporated in further studies. In this work we review some techniques that incorporate prior knowledge in supervised classification algorithms as constraints to the underlying optimization and linear algebra problems. We analyze a case study, to show the advantage of such techniques in terms of prediction accuracy.
