Improved variance estimation of classification performance via reduction of bias caused by small sample size

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Supervised learning for classification of cancer employs a set of design examples to learn how to discriminate between tumors. In practice it is crucial to confirm that the classifier is robust with good generalization performance to...
