Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to present combinatorial optimization models and techniques for the analysis of microarray datasets. The chapter illustrates the application of a novel objective function that guides the search for high-quality solutions for sequential ordering of expression profiles. The approach is unsupervised and a metaheuristic method (a memetic algorithm) is used to provide high-quality solutions. For the problem of selecting discriminative groups of genes, we used a supervised method that has provided good results in a variety of datasets. This chapter illustrates the application of these models in an Alzheimer's disease microarray dataset.
