Given a microarray dataset consisting of two classes, type I and type II, the proposed coherent binary framework sequentially combines a gene-rank algorithm and a classifier. Genes that are expressed at a consistently high level in one type and at a consistently low level in the other type are...

In the masked system lifetime data, the exact component that causes the system's failure is often unknown. For each series system at test, we observe its system's failure time and a set of components that includes the component actually causing the system to fail. The objective is to make...

Since different subtypes of a cancer respond differently to the same therapy, it is important to diagnose the cancer type of a patient correctly, and then customize the treatment for that patient. DNA microarrays have recently received a great deal of attention in cancer diagnosis. Given a...
