Abstract: | Background Time-course microarray experiments can produce useful data which can help in understanding the underlying dynamics of the
system. Clustering is an important stage in microarray data analysis where the data is grouped together according to certain
characteristics. The majority of clustering techniques are based on distance or visual similarity measures which may not be
suitable for clustering of temporal microarray data where the sequential nature of time is important. We present a Granger
causality based technique to cluster temporal microarray gene expression data, which measures the interdependence between
two time-series by statistically testing if one time-series can be used for forecasting the other time-series or not. |
