Abstract


We describe a special regression algorithm for the identification of biomarker areas in SELDI-TOF mass spectra in this paper. Tests in a set of orthogonal polynomial regressions is the basic principle of this approach. Gnostic cluster analysis is then a very effective algorithmic complement, especially, for a case of excessive behavior of a part of (bio)markers. Apart from this another a new way of TIC-normalization of data is proposed in this paper. This new regression algorithm averages results significantly more effectively than software systems used. A very considerable amount of computation was made on a supercomputer.

Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
