Abstract
The DNA Microarray technology can measure the
expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously, and
produces huge volumes of gene expression data. Such gene
data include complex variations among expression levels of
genes in the various classes of samples, which allows for
classifying and clustering the samples based on only a small
subset of genes. We aim to identify those genes that
demonstrate high capabilities of discrimination between the
classes of samples (e.g. the normal vs disease tissue
samples). We present a new technique for gene selection
