Partial Least Squares (PLS) dimension reduction is known to give good prediction accuracy in the context of classification with high-dimensional microarray data. In this paper, the classification procedure consisting of PLS dimension reduction and linear discriminant analysis on the new...

This note is a comment on the article "Dimension Reduction for Classification with Gene Expression Microarray Data" that appeared in Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology (Dai et al., 2006).

Most genetic diseases are complex, i.e. associated to combinations of SNPs rather than individual SNPs. In the last few years, this topic has often been addressed in terms of SNP-SNP interaction patterns given as expressions linked by logical operators. Methods for multiple testing in...

Knowledge of transcription of the human genome might greatly enhance our understanding of cancer. In particular, gene expression may be used to predict the survival of cancer patients. Microarray data are characterized by their high-dimensionality: the number of covariates (p~1000) greatly...
