Feature rankings are crucial in bioinformatics but can be distorted by influential points (IPs), which are often overlooked. This study aims to investigate the impact of IPs on feature rankings and propose IPs detection method
Method
We use a leave-one-out approach to assess each case's influence on feature rankings by comparing rank changes after its removal. The rank changes are measured by a novel rank comparison method that involves using adaptive top-prioritized weights that are adjustable to the distribution of rank changes. Our IP detection method was evaluated on several public datasets.
Results
Our method identified potential IPs in several TCGA gene expression datasets, revealing that IPs can severely distort feature rankings. These rank changes can ultimately affect subsequent analyses such as enriched pathways, suggesting the necessity of IPs detection when deriving feature rankings.
Conclusions
IPs significantly impact feature rankings and subsequent analyses; routine IP detection is necessary yet underutilized. Our method is available in the R package findIPs.
期刊介绍:
Computational Biology and Chemistry publishes original research papers and review articles in all areas of computational life sciences. High quality research contributions with a major computational component in the areas of nucleic acid and protein sequence research, molecular evolution, molecular genetics (functional genomics and proteomics), theory and practice of either biology-specific or chemical-biology-specific modeling, and structural biology of nucleic acids and proteins are particularly welcome. Exceptionally high quality research work in bioinformatics, systems biology, ecology, computational pharmacology, metabolism, biomedical engineering, epidemiology, and statistical genetics will also be considered.
Given their inherent uncertainty, protein modeling and molecular docking studies should be thoroughly validated. In the absence of experimental results for validation, the use of molecular dynamics simulations along with detailed free energy calculations, for example, should be used as complementary techniques to support the major conclusions. Submissions of premature modeling exercises without additional biological insights will not be considered.
Review articles will generally be commissioned by the editors and should not be submitted to the journal without explicit invitation. However prospective authors are welcome to send a brief (one to three pages) synopsis, which will be evaluated by the editors.
