Although less than a decade old, the field of microarray data analysis is now thriving and growing at a remarkable pace. Biologists, geneticists, and computer scientists as well as statisticians all need an accessible, systematic treatment of the techniques used for analyzing the vast amounts of data generated by large-scale gene expression studies. And there is arguably no group better... Read more

Biography

Terry Speed

"The 10 authors are among the world's authorities on the statistical analysis of this new class of biotechnology… . What I like best about this stimulating book is that it allows a simplified logical view of large complex multivariate data sets. … I highly recommend this book for library purchase, and for individuals in the field… ."
- Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, Vol. 157 (3)


"Analysis for gene expression data is the latest hot new topic in statistical data analysis...[this book] deals with microarray experiments: design and analysis for a comparative study, classification methods for data analysis, and clustering for data analysis. Scientists whose work concerns this type of data will want to get a copy of the book."

"…This book is a milestone, documenting major significant advances in the statistical methodology. The four chapters, though independent, share common foci with issues of design, robustness, and the freely available associated software. The statistical ideas are introduced succinctly. The book is especially valuable for research scientists in the field seeking an understanding of the related statistical developments."
