An improved and explicit surrogate variable analysis procedure by coefficient adjustment
通过系数调整改进并显式化代理变量分析
Unobserved environmental, demographic and technical factors canadversely affect the estimation and testing of the effects ofprimary variables. Surrogate variable analysis, proposed to tacklethis problem, has been widely used in genomic studies. To estimatehidden factors that are correlated with the primary variables,surrogate variable analysis performs principal component analysiseither on a subset of features or on all features, but weightingeach differently. However,…
