Statistical Analysis of Adsorption Models for Oligonucleotide Microarrays

Conrad Burden, Yvonne Pittelkow, Susan Wilson

Recent analyses have shown that the relationship between intensity measurements from high density oligonucleotide microarrays and known concentration is non linear. Thus many measurements of...

Visualisation of Gene Expression Data - the GE-biplot, the Chip-plot and the Gene-plot

Yvonne Pittelkow, Susan Wilson

Visualisation methods for exploring microarray data are particularly important for gaining insight into data from gene expression experiments, such as those concerned with the development of an...

Young age as a prognostic factor in cervical cancer: analysis of population based data from 10 022 cases

Meanwell, Clive A, Kelly, Krystyna A, Wilson, Susan, Roginski, Claudia, Woodman, Ciaran, Griffiths, Rod, ...

The effect of young age on survival in cervical cancer is not fully known, although evidence has suggested that it is a poor prognostic factor and that young patients should therefore be treated...
