Significance Analysis of Microarrays using Rank Scores
نویسنده
چکیده
The Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) software is a very practical tool for detecting significantly expressed genes and controlling the proportion of falsely detected genes, the False Discovery Rate (FDR). However, SAM tends to find biased estimates of the FDR. We show that the same method with the data replaced by rank scores does not have this tendency. We discuss the choice of the rank score function in view of the power of this nonparametric multiple testing procedure. Moreover, we introduce a testing formalization of the popular 2-fold rule. This testing procedure is more selective than the basic procedure and it enables the scientist to make a stronger statement about the selected genes than with the 2-fold rule. All procedures are illustrated with the example one-class data available in the SAM software.

One of the main objectives in the analysis of microarray experiments is the identification of genes that are differentially expressed under two experimental conditions. This task is complicated by the noisiness of the data and the large number of genes that are examined simultaneously. Here, we present a novel technique for identifying differentially expressed genes that does not originate from...

Large-p-small-n datasets are commonly encountered in modern biomedical studies. To detect the difference between two groups, conventional methods would fail to apply due to the instability in estimating variances in t-test and a high proportion of tied values in AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) estimates. The significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) may also not be...
