Combining One-Class Classifiers for Robust Novelty Detection in Gene Expression Data

One-class classification techniques are able to, based only on examples of a normal profile, induce a classifier that is capable of identifying novel classes or profile changes. However, the performance of different novelty detection approaches may depend on the domain considered. This paper applies combined one-class classifiers to detect novelty in gene expression data. Results indicate that the robustness of the classification is increased with this combined approach.
