Abstract

Abstract : The human health status can be assessed by the means of research and analysis of the human microbiome. Acne is a common skin disease whose morbidity increases year by year. The lipids which influence acne to a large extent are studied by metagenomic methods in recent years. In this paper, machine learning methods are used to analyze metagenomic sequencing data of acne, i.e., all kinds of lipids in the face skin. Firstly, lipids data of the diseased skin (DS) samples and the healthy skin (HS) samples of acne patients and the normal control (NC) samples of healthy person are, respectively, analyzed by using principal component analysis (PCA) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). Then, the lipids which have main influence on each kind of sample are obtained. In addition, a multiset canonical correlation analysis (MCCA) is utilized to get lipids which can differentiate the face skins of the above three samples. The experimental results show the machine learning methods can effectively analyze metagenomic sequencing data of acne. According to the results, lipids which only influence one of the three samples or the lipids which simultaneously have different degree of influence on these three samples can be used as indicators to judge skin statuses.
