Author(s): Xin V. Wang*+ and Terence P. Speed
Companies: University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Berkeley
Address: , , 94720,
Keywords: gene expression ; factor analysis
Abstract:

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project uses three platforms to measure gene expression. We use factor analysis to obtain an estimate of the underlying expression value that the three platforms all reflect. We will present how factor analysis is applied here and illustrate with examples.
