| Abstract | The potential of microarray gene expression (MAGE) data is only partially explored due to the limited number of samples in individual studies. This limitation can be surmounted by merging or integrating data sets originating from independent MAGE experiments, which are designed to study the same biological problem. However, this process is hindered by batch effects that are study-dependent and result in random data distortion; therefore numerical transformations are needed to render the integration of different data sets accurate and meaningful. Our contribution in this paper is two-fold. First we propose GENESHIFT, a new nonparametric batch effect removal method based on two key elements from statistics: empirical density estimation and the inner product as a distance measure between two probability density functions; second we introduce a new validation index of batch effect removal methods based on the observation that samples from two independent studies drawn from a same population should exhibit similar probability density functions. We evaluated and compared the GENESHIFT method with four other state-of-the-art methods for batch effect removal: Batch-mean centering, empirical Bayes or COMBAT, distance-weighted discrimination, and cross-platform normalization. Several validation indices providing complementary information about the efficiency of batch effect removal methods have been employed in our validation framework. The results show that none of the methods clearly outperforms the others. More than that, most of the methods used for comparison perform very well with respect to some validation indices while performing very poor with respect to others. GENESHIFT exhibits robust performances and its average rank is the highest among the average ranks of all methods used for comparison. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
