COMMENTARY Pitfalls in the Use of DNA Microarray Data for Diagnostic and Prognostic Classification

TLDR
Statistical issues that arise from the use of DNA microarrays for an important group of objectives that has been called “class prediction” are addressed, which includes derivation of predictors of prognosis, response to therapy, or any phenotype or genotype defined independently of the gene expression profile.

Applied Predictive Modeling

Max Kuhn, +1 more
TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Smartfitting” that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and therefore expensive and expensive process of designing and implementing statistical models for regression models.

Gene selection and classification of microarray data using random forest

TL;DR: It is shown that random forest has comparable performance to other classification methods, including DLDA, KNN, and SVM, and that the new gene selection procedure yields very small sets of genes (often smaller than alternative methods) while preserving predictive accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bias in error estimation when using cross-validation for model selection

TL;DR: It is shown that using CV to compute an error estimate for a classifier that has itself been tuned using CV gives a significantly biased estimate of the true error.

Classification and regression trees

Leo Breiman
TL;DR: The methodology used to construct tree structured rules is the focus of a monograph as mentioned in this paper, covering the use of trees as a data analysis method, and in a more mathematical framework, proving some of their fundamental properties.

Molecular classification of cancer: class discovery and class prediction by gene expression monitoring.

TL;DR: A generic approach to cancer classification based on gene expression monitoring by DNA microarrays is described and applied to human acute leukemias as a test case and suggests a general strategy for discovering and predicting cancer classes for other types of cancer, independent of previous biological knowledge.

Gene expression profiling predicts clinical outcome of breast cancer

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.
