In modern biomedical research aimed at finding methods for early diagnosis of cancer, microarrays containing certain biological information about patients are used. Based on these data, patients are assigned to one of two classes, corresponding to the presence and absence of some diagnosis. When solving this problem, one of the steps that have a decisive influence on the quality of classification is the significant features selection. This paper proposes a criterion for the selection of significant features, based on the ledge-coefficient of correlation. The ledge-coefficient was previously used to estimate the degree of interrelation of numerical and binary features. For two sets of microarray data, comparative examples of their binary classification are presented using three feature selection algorithms, three dimensionality reduction methods, six classification models. The use of the ledge-criterion for feature selection made it possible to obtain a classification quality comparable to the results of using common methods of feature selection, such as  t -test and  U -test. For the data set of the peptide microarrays considered in the paper, the effectiveness of applying the projection method to latent structures had previously been identified. The use of this method in combination with the significant features’ selection using the ledge-criterion made it possible to obtain a higher classification quality measure.
