Optimal factorial designs for cDNA microarray experiments
TLDR
In this paper, the authors consider cDNA microarray experiments when the cell populations have a factorial structure, and investigate the problem of their optimal designing under a baseline parametrization where the objects of interest differ from those under the more common orthogonal parameter.Abstract:
We consider cDNA microarray experiments when the cell populations have a factorial structure, and investigate the problem of their optimal designing under a baseline parametrization where the objects of interest differ from those under the more common orthogonal parametrization. First, analytical results are given for the $2\times 2$ factorial. Since practical applications often involve a more complex factorial structure, we next explore general factorials and obtain a collection of optimal designs in the saturated, that is, most economic, case. This, in turn, is seen to yield an approach for finding optimal or efficient designs in the practically more important nearly saturated cases. Thereafter, the findings are extended to the more intricate situation where the underlying model incorporates dye-coloring effects, and the role of dye-swapping is critically examined.read more

TL;DR: This work relates certain features of microarrays to other kinds of experimental data and argues that classical statistical techniques are appropriate and useful and advocate greater attention to experimental design issues and a more prominent role for the ideas of statistical inference in microarray studies.

On the utility of pooling biological samples in microarray experiments.
TL;DR: Inference for most genes is not adversely affected by pooling, and it is recommended that pooling be done when fewer than three arrays are used in each condition, and for larger designs, pooling does not significantly improve inferences if few subjects are pooled.
