Synthesis of the wavelet-neural networks for the classification of mass spectra using clonal algorithm

The mass spectrometry spectra are recognized as a screening tool for detecting discriminatory protein patterns. However, the mass spectra represent high dimensional data that have a large number of local maxima (a.k.a. peaks) which have to be analyzed; to tackle this problem we have developeda new three-step strategy. After preprocessing for classification of mass spectra, we use analgorithm clonal selection for synthesis collective binary classifiers in the form of wavelet-neural networks.
