This paper presents a method for building an ensemble of classifiers for cancer microarray data. The proposed method exploits the advantage of a clustering technique, namely K-means clustering, combined with a feature selection technique, namely SNR feature selection. An evolutionary algorithm, namely Genetic Programming, is used to construct a number of classifiers which are assembled into an ensemble. The performance of the proposed method was tested on six cancer microarray data sets. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method yields a good prediction accuracy with a small standard deviation.
