bittner-2000

From original source: ----- The authors report the discovery of a subset of melanomas identified by mathematical analysis of gene expression in a series of samples. In order to so, they gathered expression profile for 38 samples, including 31 melanomas and 7 controls. The resulting hierarchical clustering of the 31 melanoma samples demonstrates that 19 samples are tightly clustered. We denote the class of these samples by ML1. The others, including the 7 controls, will be referred to as ML2. That is, the samples are distributed within the classes as follows: Bittner: 19 ML1 and 19 ML2. Parameters used in our filter: Bittner: l= 4 and c=29
