Normalization
Goal
How can I get an appropriate datamatrix for statistical analysis ?
At the end of the course, you can obtain datamatrix and judge quality of alignment step.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of upstream preprocessing steps.
Introduction
- Upstream tool : pre-processed matrix
- Problem : technical bias and huge quantity of features
- Goal : processing of the pre-processed matrix to solve misalignment, to reduce feature number and to make spectra comparable
Summary
- Alignment
- Bucketing/integration
- Normalisation
Contents
Conclusion
- Resume : bucketing=data reduction and normalisation=data comparability
- Be careful : alignment is a crucial step to obtain reliable statistical results
- And then ? : after this step, datamatrix is ready for statistical analysis
