Title: Robust Regression for Microarray Data Analysis
Author(s): Arnold J. Stromberg*+ and Johanna Hardin and Hanga Galfalvy and Steven C. Grambow

Address: Dept. of Statistics, Lexington, KY, 40506-0027,
Keywords: microarray ; robust ; regression
Abstract:

Experimental designs for microarray studies are becoming more sophisticated as the technology becomes more commonplace. Biological researchers are using least squares regression models to analyze data for each gene. Since outliers are common in microarray data, we investigate the use of MM linear regression estimators which are able to downweight outliers while remaining efficient for normal errors.
