The approach is often justified by the improvement it produces on the performance of unstable overfitting classification rules under small-sample situations. However the question of real practical interest is whether the ensemble scheme will improve performance of those classifiers sufficiently to beat the performance of single stable nonoverfitting classifiers in the case of small-sample genomic and proteomic data sets. To investigate that question we conducted a detailed empirical study using publicly-available data sets from published genomic and proteomic studies. We observed that under t-test and RELIEF filter-based feature selection bagging generally does a good job of improving the performance of unstable overfitting classifiers such as CART decision trees and neural networks but that improvement was not sufficient to beat the performance of single stable nonoverfitting classifiers such as diagonal and plain linear discriminant analysis or 3-nearest neighbors. Furthermore as expected the ensemble method did not improve the performance of these classifiers significantly. Representative experimental results are presented and discussed in this work.
