摘要
En 中文
Complex diseases are caused by a variety of factors, and their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are usually difficult. Proteins play an indispensable role in living organisms and perform specific biological functions by interacting with other proteins or biomolecules, their dysfunction may lead to diseases, it is a natural way to mine disease-related biomarkers from protein-protein interaction network. AUC, the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, is regarded as a gold standard to evaluate the effectiveness of a binary classifier, which measures the classification ability of an algorithm under arbitrary distribution or any misclassification cost. In this study, we have proposed a network-based multi-biomarker identification method by AUC optimization (NetAUC), which integrates gene expression and the network information to identify biomarkers for the complex disease analysis. The main purpose is to optimize two objectives simultaneously: maximizing AUC and minimizing the number of selected features. We have applied NetAUC to two types of disease analysis: 1) prognosis of breast cancer, 2) classification of similar diseases. The results show that NetAUC can identify a small panel of disease-related biomarkers which have the powerful classification ability and the functional interpretability.
