Fig. 1From: Exploring combinations of dimensionality reduction, transfer learning, and regularization methods for predicting binary phenotypes with transcriptomic dataStudy overview. Preprocessed gene expression datasets served as input for two supervised dimensionality reduction methods: linear optimal low-rank projection (LOL) and low-rank canonical correlation analysis (CCA), alongside two unsupervised methods: principal component analysis (PCA) and consensus independent component analysis (c-ICA). Furthermore, latent representations were generated using a transfer learning approach with an autoencoder (AE), adversarial variational autoencoder (AVAE), and c-ICA, all trained on the GPL570 dataset. These gene-level and latent representations were then individually utilized in the predictive modeling pipeline, employing a cross-validation strategy with and without three different regularization techniques to evaluate predictive performance. The statistical significance of model performance was determined using a permutation testBack to article page
