This thesis deals with metagenomics and numerical methods for classification of metagenomic data. Review of alignment-free methods based on nucleotide word frequency is provided as they appear to be effective for processing of metagenomic sequence reads produced by next-generation sequencing technologies. To evaluate these methods, selected features based on k-mer analysis were tested on simulated dataset of metagenomic sequence reads. Then the data in original data space were enrolled for hierarchical clustering and PCA processed data were clustered by K-means algorithm. Analysis was performed for different lengths of nucleotide words and evaluated in terms of classification accuracy.
