A hybrid multi-objective whale optimization algorithm for analyzing microarray data based on Apache Spark.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A microarray is a revolutionary tool that generates vast volumes of data that describe the expression profiles of genes under investigation that can be qualified as Big Data. Hadoop and Spark are efficient frameworks, developed to store and analyze Big Data. Analyzing microarray data helps researchers to identify correlated genes. Clustering has been successfully applied to analyze microarray data by grouping genes with similar expression profiles into clusters. The complex nature of microarray data obligated clustering methods to employ multiple evaluation functions to ensure obtaining solutions with high quality. This transformed the clustering problem into a Multi-Objective Problem (MOP). A new and efficient hybrid Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm with Tabu Search (MOWOATS) was proposed to solve MOPs. In this article, MOWOATS is proposed to analyze massive microarray datasets. Three evaluation functions have been developed to ensure an effective assessment of solutions. MOWOATS has been adapted to run in parallel using Spark over Hadoop computing clusters. The quality of the generated solutions was evaluated based on different indices, such as Silhouette and Davies-Bouldin indices. The obtained clusters were very similar to the original classes. Regarding the scalability, the running time was inversely proportional to the number of computing nodes.
