A two-way semilinear model for normalization and analysis of cDNA microarray data.

A basic question in analyzing cDNA microarray data is normalization, the purpose of which is to remove systematic bias in the observed expression values by establishing a normalization curve across the whole dynamic range. A proper normalization procedure ensures that the normalized intensity ratios provide meaningful measures of relative expression levels. We propose a two-way semilinear model (TW-SLM) for normalization and analysis of microarray data. This method does not make the usual assumptions underlying some of the existing methods. For example, it does not assume that the percentage of differentially expressed genes is small or that there is symmetry in the expression levels of ...

For intervals I, let [F.sub.[alpha],M](I) be the Sobolev space of functions f in I, for example, satisfying [[integral].sub.I]([f.sup.([alpha])])[.sup.2] [less than or equal to] [M.sup.2]/[I.sup.2[alpha]-1] for integers [alpha].
