Multi-correntropy fusion based fuzzy system for predicting DNA N4-methylcytosine sites

The identification of DNA N4-methylcytosine (4mC) sites is an important field of bioinformatics. Statistical learning methods and deep learning have been applied in this direction. The previous methods focused on feature representation and feature selection, and did not take into account the deviation of noise samples for recognition. Moreover, these models were not established from the perspective of prediction error distribution. To solve the problem of complex error distribution, we propose a maximum multi-correntropy criterion based kernelized higher-order fuzzy inference system (MMC-KHFIS), which is constructed with multi-correntropy fusion. There are 6 4mC and 8 UCI data sets are employed to evaluate our model. The MMC-KHFIS achieves better performance in the experiment.
