Quality optimised analysis of general paired microarray experiments.

In microarray experiments, several steps may cause sub-optimal quality and the need for quality control is strong. Often the experiments are complex, with several conditions studied simultaneously. A linear model for paired microarray experiments is proposed as a generalisation of the paired two-sample method by Kristiansson et al.

Weighted analysis of paired microarray experiments.

In microarray experiments quality often varies, for example between samples and between arrays. The need for quality control is therefore strong. A statistical model and a corresponding analysis method is suggested for experiments with pairing, including designs with individuals observed before and after treatment and many experiments with two-colour spotted arrays.
