β¦ Synopsis
We present an unsupervised feature dimension reduction method for the classification of magnetic resonance spectra. The technique preserves spectral information, important for disease profiling. We propose to use this technique as a preprocessing step for computationally demanding wrapper-based feature subset selection. We show that the classification accuracy on an independent test set can be sustained while achieving considerable feature reduction. Our method is applicable to other classification techniques, such as neural networks, support vector machines, etc.

This paper addresses the problem of classifying multidimensional data with relatively few training samples available. Classi"cation is often performed based on data from measurements or ratings of objects or events. These data are called features. It is sometimes di$cult to determine if all features
We introduce a global feature extraction method specifically designed to preprocess magnetic resonance spectra of biomedical origin. Such preprocessing is essential for the accurate and reliable classification of diseases or disease stages manifest in the spectra. The new method is genetic algorithm
## Abstract This study examines the effect of feature extraction methods prior to automated pattern recognition based on magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for brain tumor diagnosis. Since individual inspection of spectra is timeβconsuming and requires specific spectroscopic expertise, the intro
