Systems and methods for classifier training are provided. A first dataset is obtained that comprises, for each first subject, a corresponding plurality of bin values, each for a bin in a plurality of bins, and subject cancer condition. A feature extraction technique is applied to the first dataset thereby obtaining feature extraction functions, each of which is an independent linear or nonlinear function of bin values of the bins. A second dataset is obtained comprising, for each second subject, a corresponding plurality of bin values, each for a bin in the plurality of bins and subject cancer condition. The plurality of bin values of each corresponding subject in the second plurality are projected onto the respective feature extraction functions, thereby forming a transformed second dataset comprising feature values for each subject. The transformed second dataset and subject cancer condition serves to train a classifier on the cancer condition set.
