title: Critical assessment of microarray data analysis: the 2001 challenge.
abstract: We initiated the Critical Assessment of Microarray Data Analysis (CAMDA) conference to stimulate and evaluate the development of advanced data analysis techniques for microarrays. A standard data set has been released for this data analysis challenge. The goal of this challenge is to assess the performance of different analytical methods and at the same time to determine how such methods should be evaluated. We hope this effort will catalyze the discussion of microarray data analysis among the research community of biologists, statisticians, mathematicians, and computer scientists.
