CAFCW109 Semi-Supervised Method for Countering Batch Effect
06 Dec 2019 | Contributor(s):: Stewart He
Predictive modeling of patient tumor growth response to drug treatment is severely limited by a lack of experimental data for training. Combining experimental data from several studies is an attractive approach, but presents two problems: batch effects and limited data for individual drugs and...
