Abstract

Biclustering has been very relevant within the field of gene expression data analysis. In fact, its main thrust stands in its ability to identify groups of genes that behave in the same way under a subset of samples (conditions). However, the pioneering algorithms of the literature has shown some limits in terms of the quality of unveiled biclusters. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm, called BiFCA+, for biclustering microarray data. BiFCA+ heavily relies on the mathematical background of the formal concept analysis, in order to extract the set of biclusters. In addition, the Bond correlation measure is of use to filter out the overlapping biclusters. The extensive experiments, carried out on real-life datasets, shed light on BiFCA+’s ability to identify statistically and biologically significant biclusters.
