Evaluation of network-guided random forest for disease gene discovery

Abstract Background Gene network information is believed to be beneficial for disease module and pathway identification, but has not been explicitly utilized in the standard random forest (RF) algorithm for gene expression data analysis. We investigate the performance of a network-guided RF where th...
