Title: A Comparison of Classification Methods for Metabolic Data
Author(s): Amanda Brucker*+ and Joshua Sampson and Michelle Dunn
Companies: National Cancer Institute and National Cancer Institute and National Cancer Institute
Keywords: classification ; metabolomics
Abstract:

In the field of metabolomics, the standard methods of classification are partial least squares (PLS), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and their orthogonalized versions (O-PLS, O-PLS-DA). PLS and PLS-DA, and their extensions, are commonly implemented to find patterns of metabolites that can distinguish "case" and "control" groups, treatment groups, cell environments, and other relevant biological classifications. In this project, I compare the PLS method to other traditional statistical methods-including but not limited to ridge regression, lasso, and best subsets-in identifying metabolite profiles that best predict BMI and other health outcomes.
