Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro developmental disorder characterized by weakened social skills, impaired verbal and non-verbal interaction, and repeated behavior. ASD has increased in the past few years and the root cause of the symptom cannot yet be determined. In ASD with gene expression is analyzed by classification methods. For the selection of genes in ASD, statistical philtres and a wrapper-based Geometric Binary Particle Swarm Optimization-Support Vector Machine (GBPSO-SVM) algorithm have recently been implemented. However GBPSO has provides lesser accuracy, if the dataset samples are large and it cannot directly apply to multiple output systems. To overcome this issue, Modified Cuckoo Search-Support Vector Machine (MCS-SVM) based wrapper feature selection algorithm is proposed which improves the accuracy of the classifier in ASD. This work consists of three major steps, (i) preprocessing, (ii) gene selection, and (iii) classification.
