description In the modern technological era, Anti-cancer peptides (ACPs) have been considered a promising cancer treatment. It’s critical to find new ACPs to ensure a better knowledge of their functioning processes and vaccine development. Thus, timely and efficient ACPs using a computational technique are highly needed because of the enormous peptide sequences generated in the post-genomic era. Recently, numerous adaptive statistical algorithms have been developed for separating ACPs and NACPs. Despite great advancements, existing approaches still have insufficient feature descriptors and learning methods, limiting predictive performance. To address this, a trustworthy framework is developed for the precise identification of ACPs. Particularly, the presented approach incorporates four hypothetical feature encoding mechanisms namely: amino acid, dipeptide, tripeptide, and an improved version of pseudo amino acid composition are applied to indicate the motif of the target class. Moreover, principal component analysis (PCA) is employed for feature pruning, while selecting optimal, deep, and highly variated features. Due to the diverse nature of learning, experiments are performed over numerous algorithms to select the optimum operating method. After investigating the empirical outcomes, the support vector machine with hybrid feature space shows better performance. The proposed framework achieved an accuracy of 97.09% and 98.25% over the benchmark and independent datasets, respectively. The comparative analysis demonstrates that our proposed model outperforms as compared to the existing methods and is beneficial in drug development, and oncology.
