The research experience of the director or person responsible for the unit undertaking HPSR as measured in years of activity closely matches the experience of the research institution (corr = 0.51), suggesting that, in most cases, new institutions are not being formed by experienced researchers, but rather heads become seasoned in HPSR while in the post.
We have previously assessed the validity of this approach by testing the signature on a blinded 'validation data set', held externally to the Unit undertaking the SELDI analysis (Ward et al, 2006b), A second validation method is to determine the changes consequent upon effective treatment, and changes that occur prior to clinical presentation.
