Automatic classification of such data faces the challenge of dealing with smaller number of samples compared to a larger dimensionality. Dimension reduction techniques are often applied to overcome this. Recently, a number of supervised dimension reduction techniques have been developed. We present a novel supervised dimension reduction technique called supervised kernel principal component analysis and demonstrate its effectiveness for visual representation and visual analysis of gene expression data.
