Medicine 2 Dataset ID Type # Sample Platform Description GSE39162 (A) Breast 15 (paired T, TN, N) GA, GAII de-novo N type not used GSE33858 (B) Lung 32 (paired T, NT) GAIIx GSE29173 (C) Breast 245 (unpaired, #Normal = 16) GAIIx barcoded
breast cancer, B = lung cancer • Welch’s t test for finding expression difference between breast and lung cancer • unequal variance in two type, Behrens–Fisher problem. • type of samples(#) used • A: T(5), B: T(16), C: not Normal(229) • Negative test • do t test on normal type of samples of both cancer types. • type of samples(#) used: • A: TN (N excluded)(5), B: NT(16), C: Normal(16) • if the expression difference is significant, then we should question whether they are all “normal” samples.
