The analysis of big data, particularly from the biosciences, provides unique challenges to the methods used to analyse such data. Datasets such as those used in genome-wide association studies can have a very high number of variables/dimensions (e.g. 400,000+) and therefore modifications are required to standard methods to allow them to function correctly.A variety of methods can be used for such problems, among them ant colony optimisation is a promising method, inspired by the way in which ants find the shortest path in nature. The selection of paths traditionally uses a roulette wheel which works well for problems of smaller dimensionality but breaks down when higher numbers of variables are considered. In this paper, a subset-based tournament selection ACO approach is proposed that is shown to outperform the roulette wheel-based approach for operations research problems of higher dimensionality in terms of the performance of the final solutions and execution time on problems taken from the literature.
