Abstract Tumor classification based on gene expression profiles, which is of tremendous convenience for cancer accurate diagnosis and subtype recognition, has drawn a great attention in recent years. Due to the characteristics of small samples, high dimensionality, much noise and data redundancy for gene expression profiles, it is difficult to mine biological knowledge from gene expression profiles profoundly and accurately, and it also brings enormous difficulty to informative gene selection in the tumor classification.Therefore, an iterative Lasso-based approach for gene selection,called Gene Selection Based on Iterative Lasso(GSIL), is proposed to select an informative gene subset with fewer genes and better classification ability. The proposed algorithm mainly involves two steps. In the first step, a gene ranking algorithm, Signal Noise Ratio, is applied to select top-ranked genes as the candidate gene subset, which aims to eliminate irrelevant genes. In the second step, an improved method based on Lasso, Iterative Lasso, is employed to eliminate the redundant genes. The experimental results on 5 public datasets validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and demonstrate that it has better classification ability in comparison with other gene selection methods.
