TLDR
This review focuses on the much more mundane but indispensable tasks of 'normalizing' data from individual hybridizations to make meaningful comparisons of expression levels, and of 'transforming' them to select genes for further analysis and data mining.
Abstract
Underlying every microarray experiment is an experimental question that one would like to address. Finding a useful and satisfactory answer relies on careful experimental design and the use of a variety of data-mining tools to explore the relationships between genes or reveal patterns of expression. While other sections of this issue deal with these lofty issues, this review focuses on the much more mundane but indispensable tasks of 'normalizing' data from individual hybridizations to make meaningful comparisons of expression levels, and of 'transforming' them to select genes for further analysis and data mining.

Gene expression profiling and its application in studies of haematological malignancy

TL;DR: Mechanistically, several promising new targets have been identified, and tantalizing insights have been gained into predicting disease outcome, and more compatible data analysis approaches are needed before the promising classifiers that have been developed can be adopted as diagnostic tools.

Different-batch metabolome analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

TL;DR: This study compared metabolomics methods for Saccharomyces cerevisiae in terms of reproducibility to optimize the analytical workflow, particularly quenching and data processing and showed that reproducible data could be obtained with high signal to noise ratio.

Classification of genomic data: some aspects of feature selection.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to select different subset of genes for classification due to the correlation of genes but their interpretation ought to be cautiously made, as sets of the selected variables depend on the objective function of the classifier.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns

TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

Robust Locally Weighted Regression and Smoothing Scatterplots

TL;DR: Robust locally weighted regression as discussed by the authors is a method for smoothing a scatterplot, in which the fitted value at z k is the value of a polynomial fit to the data using weighted least squares, where the weight for (x i, y i ) is large if x i is close to x k and small if it is not.
