Using PCA and Factor Analysis for Dimensionality Reduction of Bio-informatics Data
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
Large volume of Genomics data is produced on daily basis due to the advancement in sequencing technology. This data is of no value if it is not properly analysed. Different kinds of analytics are required to extract useful information from this raw data. Classification, Prediction, Clustering and Pattern Extraction are useful techniques of data mining. These techniques require appropriate selection of attributes of data for getting accurate results. However, Bioinformatics data is high dimensional, usually having hundreds of attributes. Such large a number of attributes affect the performance of machine learning algorithms used for classification/prediction. So, dimensionality reduction techniques are required to reduce the number of attributes that can be further used for analysis. In this paper, Principal Component Analysis and Factor Analysis are used for dimensionality reduction of Bioinformatics data. These techniques were applied on Leukaemia data set and the number of attributes was reduced from to.
