Abstract Background Differential expression and feature selection analyses are essential steps for the development of accurate diagnostic/prognostic classifiers complicated human diseases using transcriptomics data. These particularly challenging due to curse dimensionality presence technical biological noise. A promising strategy overcoming these challenges is incorporation pre-existing data in identification differentially expressed (DE) genes. This approach has potential improve quality...

A pharmacy database for tracking drug costs and physician prescribing trends is described. Accuracy problems plagued data systems used to make drug-use-policy decisions at a tertiary care teaching hospital because of structural deficiencies within the their nonclinical orientation. To resolve these problems, programmer analyst, clinical supervisor, pharmacist developed hierarchical costs. The was designed be valid according patterns use.
