Abstract:
1. A method for creating a model for classifying a biological sample as being of a first state or a second state different than the first state, comprising: obtaining a data string derived from each biological sample of a set known to be of the first state and a set known to be of the second state; selecting data elements from each data string using an evolutionary algorithm; determining the locations of a first set of vectors and a second set of vectors in a vector space, each vector of the first set of vectors corresponding to data elements derived from a biological sample known to be of the first state, each vector of the second set of vectors corresponding to data elements derived from a biological sample known to be of the second state; and identifying a model acceptable for classifying biological samples containing at least one cluster disposed within the vector space, the cluster containing at least one of the vectors of the first set of vectors and being associated with the first state for purposes of classifying a biological sample.
