Significance Analysis of Microarrays - SAM Features

SAM Features

  • Data from Oligo or cDNA arrays, SNP array, protein arrays,etc. can be utilized in SAM
  • Correlates expression data to clinical parameters
  • Correlates expression data with time
  • Uses data permutation to estimates False Discovery Rate for multiple testing
  • Reports local false discovery rate (the FDR for genes having a similar di as that gene) and miss rates
  • Can work with blocked design for when treatments are applied within different batches of arrays
  • Can adjust threshold determining number of gene called significant

    I can’t hide it any longer. I love you. It’s the old story, boy meets girl—Romeo and Juliet—Minneapolis and St. Paul!
    Robert Pirosh, U.S. screenwriter, George Seaton, George Oppenheimer, and Sam Wood. Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx)

    The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.
