2 Summary

Gene set analyses have a modular structure, i.e. they consist of

  1. gene level statistics
  2. gene level significance assessment
  3. gene set statistics
  4. gene set significance assessment
  5. statistical conclusion

Alternatively, steps 1.-3. might be replaced by a single global test.

In this paper, 261 different variants of gene set enrichment procedures were evaluated based on simulated and experimental data.
