Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of automatically classifying microarray data of a patient sample, the method comprising: receiving microarray data representing a plurality of probes on a microarray; automatically generating a plurality of expression signals based on the microarray data; applying, by a computer system, a first classification model for a classification scheme having a plurality of classes to at least a portion of the expression signals to produce a first preliminary call, the first preliminary call identifying the patient sample as belonging to one or more first classes of the plurality of classes; applying, by the computer system, a second classification model for the classification scheme to the at least a portion of the expression signals to produce a second preliminary call, the second preliminary call identifying the patient sample as belonging to one or more second classes of the plurality of classes; combining, by the computer system the first and second preliminary calls to produce a combined call and a weight, the combined call identifying the patient sample as belonging to one class of the plurality of classes, the weight corresponding to the one class; and determining, by the computer system:
