A new measure to evaluate the quality of a bicluster is proposed in
this paper. This measure is based on correlations among genes.
Moreover, a new evolutionary metaheuristic based on Scatter
Search, which uses this measure as the fitness function, is presented
to obtain biclusters that contain groups de highly-correlated genes.
Later, an analysis of the correlation matrix of these biclusters is
made to select these groups of genes that define new biclusters with
shifting and scaling patterns. Experimental results from human B cell lymphoma are presented.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2007-68084-C02Junta de Andalucía P07-TIC-0261
