Title: Evaluating the Performances of Several Approaches in the Identification of Differentially Expressed Probesets in Affymetrix GeneChip® Analysis
Author(s): Fenghai Duan*+ and Heping Zhang

Abstract:

In this study, we compared the performance of several methods and algorithms in the identification of differentially expressed genes from the Affymetrix GeneChip® probe-level data. We mainly focused our comparisons on the differences between summarization approaches and nonsummarization approaches. The comparisons were made from several aspects. We first derived theoretical results about the significance testing using different approaches. Then, we proved our findings by a well-known Affymetrix benchmark dataset. Our conclusion is that the nonsummarization approach, which models the effects of probe and treatment as random, generally performs better than the summarization approaches and the fixed probe-effect, nonsummarization approach.
