Comparison of Two Methods for Detecting and Correcting Systematic Error in High-throughput Screening Data

  • Conference paper
Data Science and Classification

Abstract

High-throughput screening (HTS) is an efficient technological tool for drug discovery in the modern pharmaceutical industry. It consists of testing thousands of chemical compounds per day to select active ones. This process has many drawbacks that may result in missing a potential drug candidate or in selecting inactive compounds. We describe and compare two statistical methods for correcting systematic errors that may occur during HTS experiments. Namely, the collected HTS measurements and the hit selection procedure are corrected.
