Microarray data are often used to determine which genes are differentially expressed between groups, for example, between treatment and control groups. There are methods of determining which genes have a high probability of differential expression, but those methods depend on the estimation of probability densities. Theoretical results have shown such estimation to be unreliable when high-probability genes are identified. The genes that are probably differentially expressed can be found using decision theory instead of density estimation. Simulations show that the proposed decision-theoretic method is much more reliable than a density-estimation method. The proposed method is used to determine which genes to consider differentially expressed between patients with different types of cancer. The proposed method determines which genes have a high probability of differential expression. It can be applied to data sets that have replicate microarrays in each of two or more groups of patients or experiments.
