Abstract

Microarray class prediction is an important application of gene expression data in biomedical research. Combining gene expression data with other relevant data may add valuable information and can generate more accurate prognostic predictions. In this paper, we combine gene expression data with clinical data. We use logistic regression models that can be built through various regularized techniques. Generalized linear models enables combining of these models with different structure of data. Our two suggested approaches are evaluated with publicly available breast cancer data sets. Based on the results, our approaches have a positive effect on prediction performances and are not computationally intensive.
