Data Mining for Gene Networks Relevant to Poor Prognosis in Lung Cancer via Backward-Chaining Rule Induction

We use Backward Chaining Rule Induction (BCRI), a novel data mining method for hypothesizing causative mechanisms, to mine lung cancer gene expression array data for mechanisms that could impact survival. Initially, a supervised learning system is used to generate a prediction model in the form of “...
