abstract = "Applications that classify DNA microarray expression
data are helpful for diagnosing cancer. Many attempts
have been made to analyse these data; however, new
methods are needed to obtain better results. In this
study, a Complex Network (CN) classifier was exploited
to implement the classification task. An algorithm was
used to initialize the structure, which allowed input
variables to be selected over layered connections and
different activation functions for different nodes.
Then, a hybrid method integrated the Genetic
Programming and the Particle Swarm Optimization
algorithms was used to identify an optimal structure
with the parameters encoded in the classifier. The
single CN classifier and an ensemble of CN classifiers
were tested on four bench data sets. To ensure
diversity of the ensemble classifiers, we constructed a
base classifier using different feature sets, i.e.,
Pearson's correlation, Spearman's correlation,
Euclidean distance, Cosine coefficient and the
Fisher-ratio. The experimental results suggest that a
single classifier can be used to obtain
state-of-the-art results and the ensemble yielded
better results.",
