Normalization • The motivation for normalizing microarray images and/or extracted descriptors comes from the fact that one would like to compare results obtained from multiple slides, scanners, or laboratories, and with multiple microarray techniques. The difficulty of performing meaningful comparisons arises from different slide preparations (e.g., amounts of mRNA), scanner settings, microarray protocols or labeling specifics. • The purpose of normalization is to adjust for these variations, primarily for label efficiency and hybridization efficiency, so that we can discover true biological variations as defined by the microarray experimental studies. 80
