- Title: "How to make valid prognostic models with gene expression signatures?"
- Paper to be examined: “Gene Expression Profiling for Survival Prediction in Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcomas: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group”, J Clin Oncol. 2010 Mar 1;28(7):1240-6 (2010)[1]
- Key claim of the paper: "Metagenes to discriminate patients with good prognosis from those with poor prognosis, with the potential to direct risk-adapted therapy."
- Data and Code
- Schedule:
- H1: General introduction to the paper/motivation
- H2-3: Write code to import the data and start computing "meta-genes"
- H4-6: Aim to fit a predictive model for clinical outcome based on meta-genes
- H7: Discussion: “Is a model that fits the data necessarily a good predictive model?”
- H8: Sketch cross-validation approach
- H9: Summarize results (e.g. on this wiki)
- Key bioinformatics concept of this module:
- Prognostic models
- cross validation
