Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers that usually has a strong concealment. For early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, various type of biomarkers are checked to verify whether they can accurately and sensitively assess this disease. Though there have existed some traditional statistical methodologies for this verification, such as t-test, \(\chi ^2\)-test and information gain, it is hard to apply the univariate technology for mining massive biomarker set. In this paper, we proposes a hybrid algorithm (BPPSO) based on particle swarm optimization combining with back-propagation neural network to select critical biomarkers for predicting continuous survival period. The experiments show that BPPSO is effective for biomarker selection problem.
