Microarray time-series data classification via multiple alignment of gene expression profiles

Pairwise alignment approaches for time-varying gene expression profiles have been recently developed for the detection of co-expressions in time-series microarray data sets. In this paper, we analyze multiple expression profile alignment (MEPA) methods for classifying microarray time-course data. We apply a nearest centroid classification technique, in which the centroid of each class is computed by means of a MEPA algorithm. MEPA aligns the expression profiles in such a way to minimize the total area between all aligned profiles. We propose four MEPA approaches whose effectiveness are demonstrated on the well-known budding yeast, S. cerevisiae, data set.
