Screen Many Predictors for Significant Effects
The analysis of large data sets, where hundreds to thousands of measurements on a part, process, or sample are taken requires innovative approaches. The Predictor Screening platform provides a method of screening many predictors for their ability to predict an outcome. For example, predictor screening can be used to help identify biomarkers from thousands tested in samples from patients with and without a condition to predict the condition.
Predictor screening differs from response screening. Response screening tests factors one at a time as a predictor of the response. Predictor screening uses bootstrap forest partitioning to evaluate the contribution of predictors ...
