Abstract: DNA microarray is used to study the expression levels of thousands of genes under various conditions simultaneously. Unfortunately, microarray experiments can generate datasets with multiple missing values. In this work, the approach proposed first (CFBRSTFDV), uses fuzzy difference vector (FDV) along with rough set based collaborative filtering that helps to estimate the missing values. Later on, we have also proposed a decision tree based approach combined with genetic algorithm GADTreeImpute to impute the same missing values. We have applied our proposed algorithms on three benchmark datasets, i.e., yeast gene expression data, human tumour cell and prostate cancer dataset. We have first measured the performance of both these proposed approaches by using RMSE metric. Later on the estimation is also validated by using classification process and the performance is measured by the metrics like % of classification accuracy, precision, recall, etc.
