BACKGROUND: Current -omics technologies are able to sense the state of a
biological sample in a very wide variety of ways. Given the high dimensionality
that typically characterises these data, relevant knowledge is often hidden and
hard to identify. Machine learning methods, and particularly feature selection
algorithms, have proven very effective over the years at identifying small but
relevant subsets of variables from a variety of application domains, including
-omics data. Many methods exist with varying trade-off between the size of the
identified variable subsets and the predictive power of such subsets. In this
paper we focus on an heuristic for the identification of biomarkers called RGIFE:
Rank Guided Iterative Feature Elimination. RGIFE is guided in its biomarker
identification process by the information extracted from machine learning models
and incorporates several mechanisms to ensure that it creates minimal and highly
predictive features sets. RESULTS: We compare RGIFE against five well-known
feature selection algorithms using both synthetic and real (cancer-related
transcriptomics) datasets. First, we assess the ability of the methods to
identify relevant and highly predictive features. Then, using a prostate cancer
dataset as a case study, we look at the biological relevance of the identified
biomarkers. CONCLUSIONS: We propose RGIFE, a heuristic for the inference of
reduced panels of biomarkers that obtains similar predictive performance to
widely adopted feature selection methods while selecting significantly fewer
feature. Furthermore, focusing on the case study, we show the higher biological
relevance of the biomarkers selected by our approach. The RGIFE source code is
