Abstract

We recently developed the Projection Onto the Most Interesting Statistical Evidence (PROMISE) procedure that uses prior biological knowledge to guide an integrated analysis of gene expression data with multiple biological and clinical endpoints. Here, PROMISE is adapted to the integrated analysis of pharmacologic, clinical and genome-wide genotype data. An efficient permutation-testing algorithm is introduced so that PROMISE is computationally feasible in this higher-dimension setting. In the analysis of a paediatric leukaemia data set, PROMISE effectively identifies genomic features that exhibit a biologically meaningful pattern of association with multiple endpoint variables.
