Application of microarray outlier detection methodology to psychiatric research
BACKGROUND Most microarray data processing methods negate extreme expression values or alter them so that they do not lie outside the mean level of variation of the system. While microarrays generate a substantial amount of false positive and spurious results, some of the extreme expression values may be valid and could represent true biological findings. METHODS We propose a simple method to...
متن کاملOutlier detection in psychiatric epidemiology.
Outliers may be of interest in their own right or they may merely be distractions from the point in question, and a hindrance to generalisation. In the medical field, including psychiatry, concise summary statistics and parsimonious models have tended to be the main aim of many studies. However, partly motivated by the requirements of medical audit and other political and financial consideratio...
متن کاملApplication of LVQ to novelty detection using outlier training data
We propose to use learning vector quantization (LVQ) in novelty detection where a few outliers exist in training data. The codebook update of original LVQ is modified and the scheme to determine a threshold for each codebook is proposed. Experimental results on artificial and real-world problems are quite promising.
متن کاملApplication of Tissue Microarray Technology to Stem Cell Research
There is virtually an unlimited number of possible Tissue Microarray (TMA) applications in basic and clinical research and ultimately in diagnostics. However, to assess the functional importance of novel markers, researchers very often turn to cell line model systems. The appropriate choice of a cell line is often a difficult task, but the use of cell microarray (CMA) technology enables a quick...
متن کاملThe application of gene expression microarray technology to kinetoplastid research.
Protozoan parasites in the order Kinetoplastida cause severe disease primarily in tropical and subtropical areas. Vaccines to control these diseases have shown some promise, but none are in active clinical use. Drug treatments are available for all of the acute infections, but the emergence of resistance and an unresponsive chronic phase are current problems. Rapid advances in genomic technolog...
