After mapping probe sequences to Ensembl genes we demonstrate that, ComBat and cross platform normalisation (XPN), significantly outperform mean-centering and distance-weighted discrimination (DWD) in terms of minimising inter-platform variance.
It has also used by opponents of abortion and to promote animal rights – bolstering criticism that its use minimises minorities' experiences, particularly of police brutality and discrimination.
"With careful design using mathematical perception models," it adds, "we are able to remap colours to maximise discrimination for colour-blind people, at the same as minimising the strength of the effect for non-colour-blind people".
Batch effects have been shown to be minimised with correction methods such as, singular value decomposition [ 20], distance weighted discrimination [ 10], mean-centring [ 12], and ComBat [ 21].
