Methods and Computational Tools for the Screening and Classification of Microarray Gene Expression Data - Continuing Education - Course
The ASA, Biopharmaceutical Section
Instructor(s): Geoff McLachlan, University of Queensland, Kim-Anh Do, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center
This course is aimed at statisticians/biostatisticians/bioinformaticians and investigators working in areas in which relevant use can be made of microarray gene expression data. Although it is anticipated many in the audience will have majored in statistics, only a working knowledge of statistics is expected. Key features include a demonstration of methods (some with a Bayesian perspective) through the reporting of several case studies and newly developed methodology---in particular, that of the presenters---which may not be available in publication form at the time of the course. RECOMMENDED TEXTBOOK: McLachlan, G.J., Do, K. and Ambroise, C. (2004). Analyzing Microarray Gene Expression Data. John Wiley and Sons. ISBN: 0-471-22616-5.

Course attendees are expected to be familiar with the topic at the level of:
Data Analysis Tools for DNA Microarrays by Sorin Draghici, Chapman & Hall/CRC Press.
