Modelling and trading the Greek stock market with gene expression and genetic programing algorithms
This paper presents an application of the gene expression programming (GEP) and integrated genetic programming (GP) algorithms to the modelling of ASE 20 Greek index. GEP and GP are robust evolutionary algorithms that evolve computer programs in the form of mathematical expressions, decision trees or logical expressions. The results indicate that GEP and GP produce significant trading performance when applied to ASE 20 and outperform the well-known existing methods. The trading performance of the derived models is further enhanced by applying a leverage filter
Algorithms Implemented for Cancer Gene Searching and Classifications
Understanding the gene expression is an important factor to cancer diagnosis. One target of this understanding is implementing cancer gene search and classification methods. However, cancer gene search and classification is a challenge in that there is no an obvious exact algorithm that can be implemented individually for various cancer cells. In this paper a research is con-ducted through the most common top ranked algorithms implemented for cancer gene search and classification, and how they are implemented to reach a better performance. The paper will distinguish algorithms implemented for Bio image analysis for cancer cells and algorithms implemented based on DNA array data. The main purpose of this paper is to explore a road map towards presenting the most current algorithms implemented for cancer gene search and classification
Developing and applying heterogeneous phylogenetic models with XRate
Modeling sequence evolution on phylogenetic trees is a useful technique in
computational biology. Especially powerful are models which take account of the
heterogeneous nature of sequence evolution according to the "grammar" of the
encoded gene features. However, beyond a modest level of model complexity,
manual coding of models becomes prohibitively labor-intensive. We demonstrate,
via a set of case studies, the new built-in model-prototyping capabilities of
XRate (macros and Scheme extensions). These features allow rapid implementation
of phylogenetic models which would have previously been far more
labor-intensive. XRate's new capabilities for lineage-specific models,
ancestral sequence reconstruction, and improved annotation output are also
discussed. XRate's flexible model-specification capabilities and computational
efficiency make it well-suited to developing and prototyping phylogenetic
grammar models. XRate is available as part of the DART software package:

Elephant Search with Deep Learning for Microarray Data Analysis
Even though there is a plethora of research in Microarray gene expression
data analysis, still, it poses challenges for researchers to effectively and
efficiently analyze the large yet complex expression of genes. The feature
(gene) selection method is of paramount importance for understanding the
differences in biological and non-biological variation between samples. In
order to address this problem, a novel elephant search (ES) based optimization
is proposed to select best gene expressions from the large volume of microarray
data. Further, a promising machine learning method is envisioned to leverage
such high dimensional and complex microarray dataset for extracting hidden
patterns inside to make a meaningful prediction and most accurate
classification. In particular, stochastic gradient descent based Deep learning
(DL) with softmax activation function is then used on the reduced features
(genes) for better classification of different samples according to their gene
expression levels. The experiments are carried out on nine most popular Cancer
microarray gene selection datasets, obtained from UCI machine learning
repository. The empirical results obtained by the proposed elephant search
based deep learning (ESDL) approach are compared with most recent published
article for its suitability in future Bioinformatics research.Comment: 12 pages, 5 Tabl
