Abstract

The hypergeometric enrichment analysis approach typically fares poorly in feature-selection stability due to its upstream reliance on the t-test to generate differential protein lists before testing for enrichment on a protein complex, subnetwork or gene group. Swapping the t-test in favour of a fuzzy rank-based weight system similar to that used in network-based methods like Quantitative Proteomics Signature Profiling (QPSP), Fuzzy SubNets (FSNET) and paired FSNET (PFSNET) produces dramatic improvements. This approach, Fuzzy-FishNET, exhibits high precision-recall over three sets of simulated data (with simulated protein complexes) while excelling in feature-selection reproducibility on real data (based on evaluation with real protein complexes). Overlap comparisons with PFSNET shows Fuzzy-FishNET selects the most significant complexes, which are also strongly class-discriminative. Cross-validation further demonstrates Fuzzy-FishNET selects class-relevant protein complexes. Based on evaluation with simulated and real datasets, Fuzzy-FishNET is a significant upgrade of the traditional hypergeometric enrichment approach and a powerful new entrant amongst comparative proteomics analysis methods.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 October 2017.
All research outputs
#14,289,166
of 22,912,409 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medical Genomics
#565
of 1,226 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#224,951
of 415,994 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medical Genomics
#6
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,912,409 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,226 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 415,994 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
