From: Addressing the Challenge of Defining Valid Proteomic Biomarkers and Classifiers
Study design. Usage of samples and flow of information. 67 samples from males and females were each employed in a training set for the definition of biomarkers, and establishment of classifiers. Subpopulations of 7, 20, and 33 samples were employed, where indicated. The results (potential biomarkers, classifiers) were evaluated on an independent set of blinded data that also consisted of 67 male and 67 female samples, to enable the best possible assessment.
