Receive operating characteristic (ROC) approach can be employed to rank candidate genes from a microarray experiment, in particular, for the biomarker development with the purpose of population screening of a cancer. In the cancer microarray experiment based on n patients the researcher often wants to compare the tumor tissue with the normal tissue within the same individual using a common reference RNA. Ideally, this experiment produces n pairs of microarray data. However, it is often the case that there are missing values either in the normal or tumor tissue data. Practically, we have $n_1$ pairs of complete observations, $n_2$ "normal only" and $n_3$ "tumor only" data for the microarray. We refer to this data set as a mixed data set. We develop a ROC approach on the mixed data set to rank candidate genes for the biomarker development for the colorectal cancer screening. It turns out that the correlation between two ranks in terms of ROC and t statistics based on the top 50 genes of ROC rank is less than 0.6. This result indicates that employing a right approach of ranking candidate genes for the biomarker development is important for the allocation of resources.

Microarray gene expression data is believed to show the functions of living organism through the gene expression values. We have studied a method to get the informative genes from the microarray gene expression data. There are several ways for this. In recent researches to get more sophisticated and detailed results, it has used the intelligence information theory like fuzzy theory. Some methods are to add fudge factors to the significance test for more refined results. In this paper, we suggest a method to get informative genes from microarray gene expression data. We combined the difference of means between two groups and the fuzzy membership degree which reflects the variance of the gene expression data. We have called our significance test the Fuzzy Information method for Gene Expression data(FIGER). The FIGER calculates FIGER variation ratio and FIGER membership degree to show how strongly each object belongs to the each group and then it results in the significance degree of each gene. The FIGER is focused on the variation and distribution of the data set to adjust the significance level. Out simulation shows that the FIGER-test is an effective and useful significance test.

Since its introduction in 1995 by Schena et al. cDNA microarrays have been established as a potential tool for high-throughput analysis which allows the global monitoring of expression levels for thousands of genes simultaneously. One of the characteristics of the cDNA microarray data is that there is inherent noise even after the removal of systematic effects in the experiment. Therefore, replication is crucial to the microarray experiment. The assessment of reproducibility among replicates, however, has drawn little attention. Reproducibility may be assessed with several different endpoints along the process of data reduction of the microarray data. We define the reproducibility to be the degree with which replicate arrays duplicate each other. The aim of this note is to develop a novel measure of reproducibility among replicates in the cDNA microarray experiment based on the unprocessed data. Suppose we have p genes and n replicates in a microarray experiment. We first develop a measure of reproducibility between two replicates and generalize this concept for a measure of reproducibility of one replicate against the remaining n-1 replicates. We used the rank of the outcome variable and employed the concept of a measure of tracking in the blood pressure literature. We applied the reproducibility measure to two sets of microarray experiments in which one experiment was performed in a more homogeneous environment, resulting in validation of this novel method. The operational interpretation of this measure is clearer than Pearson's correlation coefficient which might be used as a crude measure of reproducibility of two replicates.

마이크로어레이 데이타는 동시에 수 만개 유전자의 발현 값을 포함하고 있기 때문에 질병의 발현 형질 분류에 매우 유용하게 쓰인다. 그러나 동일한 생물학적 주제라 할지라도 여러 독립된 연구 집단에서 생성된 마이크로어레이의 분석결과는 서로 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 이에 대한 주된 이유는 하나의 마이크로어레이 실험에 참여한 샘플의 수가 제한적이기 때문이다. 따라서 개별적으로 수행된 마이크로어레이 데이타를 통합하여 샘플의 수를 늘리는 것은, 보다 정확한 분석을 하는데 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 해결 방안으로 두 단계 접근방법을 제안한다. 제 1 단계에서는 개별적으로 생성된 동일주제의 마이크로어레이 데이타를 통합한 후 인포머티브(Informative) 유전자를 추출하고 제 2 단계에서는 인포머티브 유전자만을 이용하여 클래스 분류(Classification) 과정 후 분류자를 추출한다. 이 분류자를 다른 테스트 샘플 데이타에 적용한 실험결과를 보면 마이크로어레이 데이타를 통합하여 샘플의 수를 증가시킬수록, 비교 방법에 비해 정확도가 최대 24.19% 높은 분류자를 만들어 내는 것을 알 수 있다.

For statistical microarray data analysis, clustering analysis is a useful exploratory technique and offers the promise of simultaneously studying the variation of many genes. However, most of the proposed clustering methods are not rigorously solved for a time-course microarray data cluster and for a fitting time covariate; therefore, a statistical method is needed to form a cluster and represent a linear trend of each cluster for each gene. In this research, we developed a modified hierarchical mixture of an experts model to suggest clustering data and characterize each cluster using a linear mixed effect model. The feasibility of the proposed method is illustrated by an application to the human fibroblast data suggested by Iyer et al. (1999).

The current existing literature offers little guidance on how to decide which method to use to analyze one-channel microarray measurements when dealing with large, grouped samples. Most previous methods have focused on two-channel data;therefore they can not be easily applied to one-channel microarray data. Thus, a more reliable method is required to determine an appropriate combination of individual basic processing steps for a given dataset in order to improve the validity of one-channel expression data analysis. We address key issues in evaluating the effectiveness of basic statistical processing steps of microarray data that can affect the final outcome of gene expression analysis without focusingon the intrinsic data underlying biological interpretation.

DNA microarray is currently the most prominent tool for investigating large-scale gene expression data. Different algorithms for measuring gene expression levels from scanned images of microarray experiments may significantly impact the following steps of functional genomic analyses. $Affymetrix^{(R)}$ recently introduced high-density microarrays and new statistical algorithms in Microarray Suit (MAS) version 5.0$^{(R)}$. Very high correlations (0.92 - 0.97) between the new algorithms and the old algorithms (MAS 4.0) across several species and conditions were reported. We found that the column-wise array correlations had a tendency to be much higher than the row-wise gene correlations, which may be much more meaningful in the following higher-order data analyses including clustering and pattern analyses. In this paper, not only the detailed comparison of the two sets of algorithms is illustrated, but the impact of the introducing new algorithms on the further clustering analysis of microarray data and of possible pitfalls in mixing the old and the new algorithms were also described.

본 논문에서는 마이크로어레이 (microarray) 자료에 판별분석을 적용 시 나타나는 고차원 및 소표본 문제의 해결방법으로서 직교요인을 새로운 특징변수로 사용한 비모수적 국소선형 로지스틱 판별분석을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 국소우도에 기반한 것으로서 다범주 판별분석에 적용될 수 있으며, 고려된 직교인자는 주성분 요인, 부분최소제곱 요인, 인자분석 요인 등이다. 대표적인 두 가지 실제 마이크로어레이 자료에 적용한 결과 직교요인들 중에서 부분최소제곱 요인을 특징변수로 사용한 경우 고전적인 통계적 판별분석보다 향상된 분류 능력을 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다.

Feature selection has been widely established as an efficient technique for microarray data analysis. Feature selection aims to search for the most important feature/gene subset of a given dataset according to its relevance to the current target. Unsupervised feature selection is considered to be challenging due to the lack of label information. In this paper, we propose a novel method for unsupervised feature selection, which incorporates embedded learning and $l_{2,1}-norm$ sparse regression into a framework to select genes in microarray data analysis. Local tangent space alignment is applied during embedded learning to preserve the local data structure. The $l_{2,1}-norm$ sparse regression acts as a constraint to aid in learning the gene weights correlatively, by which the proposed method optimizes for selecting the informative genes which better capture the interesting natural classes of samples. We provide an effective algorithm to solve the optimization problem in our method. Finally, to validate the efficacy of the proposed method, we evaluate the proposed method on real microarray gene expression datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method obtains quite promising performance.

생물학자들은 시간에 따라 발현 수준이 변화하는 유전자의 군집화를 시도하고 있다. 지금까지는 마이크로어레이 자료의 군집분석에 관한 연구의 경우 군집 방법 자체를 비교하는 연구가 주를 이루었다. 그러나 군집화 이전에 의미있는 변화를 보이는 유전자 선택에 따라 군집화 결과가 달라지기 때문에, 군집 분석에 있어서 유전자 선택 단계도 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 시간 경로 마이크로어레이 자료를 군집 분석하는데 있어서 유전자 선택, 군집 방법 선택, 군집평가 방법 선택 등 3가지 요인을 고려한 폭 넓은 비교 연구를 하였다.
