What should be expected from feature selection in small-sample settings

MOTIVATION High-throughput technologies for rapid measurement of vast numbers of biological variables offer the potential for highly discriminatory diagnosis and prognosis; however, high dimensionality together with small samples creates the need for feature selection, while at the same time making feature-selection algorithms less reliable. Feature selection must typically be carried out from ...

Boundary violations in medical practice: what should be done?

Ayedin et al2 compared the immunohistochemical profile of this tumour with RCC and described that papillary cystadenomas are positive for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and EMA, CK7 and negative for CK20 and RCC immunostain.
