Overall description of OBC. Three steps are required to perform OBC optimization. In the first pre-selection step, n most discriminating genes are selected by performing a BGA on the training set with the whole set of genes. In the second step, a jackknife optimization is performed on the initial subset of genes and the least influential genes in terms of % BG inertia are removed successively. This second step is iteratively computed, decrementing the genes down to 5. Finally in the third step, the optimal subset of genes is identified (subset with the best classification accuracy and the best stability).
