Background Prediction in high dimensional settings is difficult due to the large number of variables relative to the sample size. We demonstrate how auxiliary ‘co-data’ can be used to improve the performance of a Random Forest in such a setting. Results Co-data are incorporated in the Random Forest by replacing the uniform sampling probabilities that are used to draw candidate variables by co-data...
Background Nowadays, many public repositories containing large microarray gene expression datasets are available. However, the problem lies in the fact that microarray technology are less powerful and accurate than more recent Next Generation Sequencing technologies, such as RNA-Seq. In any case, information from microarrays is truthful and robust, thus it can be exploited through the integration...
Feature selection from microarray data has become an ever evolving area of research. Numerous techniques have widely been applied for extraction of genes which are expressed differentially in microarray data. Some of these comprise of studies related to fold-change approach, classical t-statistics and modified t-statistics. It has been found that the gene lists returned by these methods are dissimilar...
