Abstract: | Background Co-expression network-based approaches have become popular in analyzing microarray data, such as for detecting functional
gene modules. However, co-expression networks are often constructed by ad hoc methods, and network-based analyses have not
been shown to outperform the conventional cluster analyses, partially due to the lack of an unbiased evaluation metric. |
