  • Statistical outlier detection for gene expression microarray data
    Patent number: 6763308
    Abstract: In accordance with the disclosure below, a computer-implemented method and system are provided for detecting outliers in microarray data. A mixed linear statistical model is used to generate predictions based upon the received microarray data. Residuals are generated by subtracting model-based predictions from the original microarray sample data. Statistical tests are performed for residuals by adding covariates to the mixed model and testing their significance. Data from the microarrays are designated as outliers based upon the tested significance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 13, 2004
    Assignee: SAS Institute Inc.
