Novel "extreme" approach improves outcome prediction from microarray data
October 25th, 2005
A novel "extreme" approach improves prediction of clinical outcomes from gene expression data. "Patient outcome prediction using microarray technologies is an important application in bioinformatics," according to scientists in Singapore. "Based on patients' genotypic microarray data, predictions are made to estimate patients' survival time and their risk of tumor metastasis or recurrence." "So, accurate prediction can potentially help to provide better treatment for patients," noted H.Q. Liu and colleagues at the Institute for Infocomm Research. Towards this end, they devised and evaluated "a new computational method for patient outcome prediction"...
