Dear BioConductor community,
when faced with the concept of generating a microarray-based
classifier for a clinical condition (say responder vs non-responder to
a treatment), I have issues understaing how, after a model is built
from a training set, it can be applied prospectively in a serial way
in a prospective trial. It is my understanding that most normalization
methods depend, at some point, on the information derived from the
microarray batch which a given sample is normalized with. Few methods
circumvent this issue, such as fRMA (in case one has the possibility
to use Affy HGU133 Plus 2.0 arrays) or SCAN.UPC, which would be
suitable for most Affy arrays and even dual-channel Agilent arrays.
What about single-channel Agilent arrays? And which were the methods
used in all the works published before those methods were published?
Thanks in advance, I hope this is not too general a question
