Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing gene expression wherein the method comprises the steps of: using a specifically programmed computer to receive compiled data comprising a plurality of measured gene expression signals; and using the specifically programmed computer to analyze the compiled data using the substeps of: (i) using the specifically programmed computer to apply a nonlinear independent component analysis to the compiled data to identify a plurality of independent components into which the data may be grouped; (ii) using the specifically programmed computer to apply autoregressive or autoregressive exogenous modeling to the identified independent components to describe an expression profile model for each independent component identified in step (i); and (iii) using the specifically programmed computer to apply the nonlinear independent component analysis in an inverse manner to the expression profile model for an individual component as derived in step (ii) to predict the expression values of an individual gene.
