Modified Boxplots

Modified Boxplots

A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

Detection of Gross Error: The Q Test

Detection of Gross Error: The Q Test

When one or more data points appear far from the rest of the data, there is a need to determine whether they are outliers and whether they should be eliminated from the data set to ensure an accurate representation of the measured value. In many cases, outliers arise from gross errors (or human errors) and do not accurately reflect the underlying phenomenon. In some cases, however, these apparent outliers reflect true phenomenological differences. In these cases, we can use statistical methods...

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This number is...

Data Science

Background:

Vast amounts of microarray data exist in public repositories, often as processed data only.
Integrating multiple microarray datasets requires adjusting data to remove inter-dataset bias.
The Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) is a common preprocessing method for GeneChip data.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate quantile correction as a post-processing method for integrating microarray datasets preprocessed with RMA.
To assess the effectiveness of quantile correction in reducing bias between datasets.

Main Methods:

Utilized artificial spike-in datasets to evaluate quantile correction.
Applied quantile correction to real microarray datasets from atopic dermatitis and lung cancer studies.
Focused on the GeneChip platform and RMA preprocessing method.

Main Results:

Quantile correction for data integration slightly reduces data quality but remains at an acceptable level.
Studies using real datasets demonstrate that quantile correction significantly reduces bias between integrated datasets.
Spike-in dataset analysis confirmed the effectiveness of quantile correction in mitigating dataset-specific variations.

Conclusions:

Quantile correction is a valuable and effective method for integrating multiple microarray datasets preprocessed with RMA.
This approach facilitates the more efficient and comprehensive utilization of publicly available microarray data.
The findings encourage broader application of quantile correction for meta-analysis of gene expression studies.
