Summary

Combining different microarray data sets, even across platforms, is considered in this chapter. The larger sample sizes created in this way have the potential to generally increase statistical power. Distance weighted discrimination (DWD) has been shown to provide this improvement in some cases. We replicate earlier results indicating that DWD provides an effective approach to cross-platform batch adjustment, using both novel and conventional visualization methods. Improved statistical power from combining data is demonstrated for a new DWD based hypothesis test. This result appears to contradict a number of earlier results, which suggested that such data combination is not possible. The contradiction is resolved by understanding the differences between gene-by-gene analysis and our more complete and insightful multivariate approach of DWD.
