Hi,
This refers to selection of cutoff for SELDI-TOF data as described in the
chapter 6 of Gentleman et al (Bioinformatics and Comp Bio Solutions using
R and Bioconductor).
On page 101 (Fig 6.5: cutpoint vs. average sd), the first local minimum
around 400 is chosen. However, in another dataset, page 106 (Fig 6.7) the
first local minimum around 350 is _not_ selected. Instead the chosen
cutoff 1000 is far too much to the right and not even on an local minimum.
I am unable to reconcile the two instances of cutoff choice.
Thanks for any explanation.
