Boruta gene selection method performance impacted by tree depth

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the impact of tree depth settings in the Boruta gene selection method for RNA-Seq data classification. The study found that restricting tree depth, a common practice, significantly alters gene selection and reduces the accuracy of resulting gene panels. Researchers recommend using uncapped trees or caps based on realized depth, along with a within-class quality filter, to improve Boruta's performance. AI

IMPACT Findings suggest potential improvements in gene selection accuracy for RNA-Seq data analysis, impacting bioinformatics and computational biology research.

    Tree Depth and Sample-Quality-Associated Features: Two Hidden Factors in Boruta Selection for RNA-Seq Data Classification

    arXiv:2610.33307v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Boruta is a widely used method for selecting gene panels from RNA sequencing data, and its most used implementation recommends Random Forest trees of depth 3 to 7, an untested setting. We tested whether this setting changes which ge…
