Batch effects in microarray experiments may lead to systematic shift in expression measurements from one batch to another. It poses great challenge if batches are confounded with the biological groups of interest especially in the estimation of statistical significance, FDR. Even the widely used well-tailored methods such as SAM are not immune to the effects of batch confounding of groups. We propose a
stepped linear regression (SLR)
method in the context of SAM to re-estimate the expected statistics and FDR in two class analysis to nullify batch effects and get really significant genes. SLR is equally applicable to the other similar methods and multi-group differential expression analysis.
