GENESHIFT: a non-parametric approach for integrating microarray gene expression data, based on the inner product as a distance measure between the distributions of genes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The potential of microarray gene expression (MAGE) data is only partially explored due to the limited number of samples in individual studies. This limitation can be surmounted by merging or integrating data sets originating from independent MAGE experiments, which are designed to study the same biological problem. However, this process is hindered by batch effects that are study-dependent and result in random data distortion; therefore ...
