Table 1 Classification accuracy using four multi-class cancer data sets (GCM, Breast, Leukemia, Lymphoma) and six binary sets (CNS, colon, DLBCL, GCM, lung, prostate) show that performance of BCGA-ELM is superior and consistent over all these data sets. GCM multi-class has an accuracy of 95.4%, which is at least 21.6% higher than other methods given in the literature (although some of them use very small sets of genes)

  1. Current results show 4.2% improvement over our previous method using ICGA-ELM. All other multi-class and binary data sets are classified with 100% accuracy (shown in bold). Genes selected by BCGA-ELM (for all data sets) are classified using WEKA [19] machine learning package. These results are much lower for GCM multi-class data but are fairly consistent for other data sets compared to BCGA-ELM and other results in literature. (*σ is the variance).
