Evaluation of gene expression classification studies: factors associated with classification performance. by Putri W Novianti, Kit C B Roes, Marinus J C Eijkemans

“…The MAQC II study on cancer classification problems has found that performance was affected by factors such as the classification algorithm, cross validation method, number of genes, and gene selection method. In this paper, we study the hypothesis that the disease under study significantly determines which method is optimal, and that additionally sample size, class imbalance, type of medical question (diagnostic, prognostic or treatment response), and microarray platform are potentially influential. …”
