Abstract:

New biological systems technologies give scientists abilities to measure thousands of biomolecules including genes, proteins, lipids, and metabolites. We use a procedure called Domain Enhanced Analysis (DEA), a "top-down" approach to perform domain aggregation by first combining gene expressions using the Gene ontology before testing for differentially expressed patterns; the benefits are greater sensitivity for detecting signals. In original DEA procedure, the first scores from the Partial Least Square procedure are used to test for differentially expressed patterns using the t test. We proposed new tests by finding the true null distribution of each PLS score adjusted for the size of the GO term to replace the original t test. We also discuss the impact of our testing procedure with different coding of our classification response variable, namely 0/1 or -1/1 for data with two classes.
