Machine Learning Techniques for Omics Data Analysis
summary
Team uses ctrp portal gene-expression and drug-response data to predict cell-line sensitivity, starting from 686 samples and after cleaning using 516 (train 361 / val 77 / test 78). Pipeline switches from summary metrics to individual-dose responses, reduces ~19,000 genes via Spearman filtering plus forward/backward selection, compares Elastic Net and GAM but selects XGBoost with heavy hyperparameter tuning, and ends with ~20 gene features whose literature links many to cancer; one expected gene appears and another suggests a new liquid‑biopsy biomarker.
