Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:We discuss supervised classification techniques applied to medical diagnosis based on gene expression profiles. Our focus lies on strategies of adaptive model selection to avoid overfitting in high-dimensional spaces. METHODS:We introduce likelihood-based methods, classification trees, support vector machines and regularized binary regression. For regularization by dimension reduction, we describe feature selection methods: feature filtering, feature shrinkage and wrapper approaches. In small sample-size situations efficient methods of data re-use are needed to assess the predictive power of a model. We discuss two issues in using cross-validation: the difference between in-loop and out-of-loop feature selection, and estimating model parameters in nested-loop cross-validation. RESULTS:Gene selection does not reduce the dimensionality of the model. Tuning parameters enable adaptive model selection. The feature selection bias is a common pitfall in performance evaluation. Model selection and performance evaluation can be combined by nested-loop cross-validation. CONCLUSIONS:Classification of microarrays is prone to overfitting. A rigorous and unbiased assessment of the predictive power of the model is a must.
