Abstrakt: The intent of this article is to discuss some of the complexities of toxicogenomics data and the statistical design and analysis issues that arise in the course of conducting a toxicogenomics study. We also describe a procedure for classifying compounds into various hepatotoxicity classes based on gene expression data. The methodology involves first classifying a compound as toxic or nontoxic and subsequently classifying the toxic compounds into the hepatotoxicity classes, based on votes by binary classifiers. The binary classifiers are constructed by using genes selected to best elicit differences between the two classes. We show that the gene selection strategy improves the misclassification error rates and also delivers gene pathways that exhibit biological relevance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
