Gene selection as an important step for improved diagnostics screens tens of thousands of genes and identifies a small subset that discriminates between disease types. A two-step gene selection method is proposed to identify informative gene subsets for accurate classification of multiclass phenotypes. In the first step individually discriminatory genes IDGs are identified by using one-dimensional weighted Fisher criterion wFC . In the second step jointly discriminatory genes JDGs are selected by sequential search methods based on their joint class separability measured by multidimensional weighted Fisher criterion wFC . The performance of the selected gene subsets for multiclass prediction is evaluated by artificial neural networks ANNs and or support vector .
