## Data Processing Guidelines
|
| 104 |
-
|
| 105 |
-
To process this methylation data, we recommend the following pipeline:
|
| 106 |
-
|
| 107 |
-
1. **Quality Control**:
|
| 108 |
-
- Filter out probes on sex chromosomes
|
| 109 |
-
- Remove known polymorphic or cross-reactive probes
|
| 110 |
-
- Perform sample quality checks (detection p-values, intensity distributions)
|
| 111 |
-
|
| 112 |
-
2. **Normalization**:
|
| 113 |
-
- Beta-value calculation
|
| 114 |
-
- BMIQ normalization for type I/II bias correction
|
| 115 |
-
- Optional: ComBat batch correction if combining multiple datasets
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
3. **Feature Selection**:
|
| 118 |
-
- Differential methylation analysis to identify disease-associated CpG sites
|
| 119 |
-
- Optional: Variance filtering to remove low-variability probes
|
| 120 |
-
|
| 121 |
-
4. **Analysis**:
|
| 122 |
-
- Recommended: Apply the Epigenomic Transformer Pipeline or similar methods
|
| 123 |
-
- Alternative approaches: Logistic regression, random forest, XGBoost
|
| 124 |

| 151 |
-
|
| 152 |
-
This dataset is suitable for:
|
| 153 |
