The classification of cancer subtypes, which is critical for successful treatment, has been studied extensively with the use of gene expression profiles from oligonucleotide chips or cDNA microarrays. Various pattern recognition methods have been successfully applied to gene expression data. However, these methods are not optimal, rather they are high-performance classifiers that emphasize only classification accuracy. In this paper, we propose an approach for the construction of the optimal linear classifier using gene expression data. Two linear classification methods, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and discriminant partial least-squares (DPLS), are applied to distinguish acute leukemia subtypes. These methods are shown to give satisfactory accuracy. Moreover, we determined optimally the number of genes participating in the classification (a remarkably small number compared to previous results) on the basis of the statistical significance test. Thus, the proposed method constructs the optimal classifier that is composed of a small size predictor and provides high accuracy.
