A robust Correntropy-based method for analyzing multisample aCGH data

This paper presents a new method for analyzing array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data based on Correntropy. A new formulation based on low-rank aCGH data and Correntropy is proposed and its solution is presented based on Half-Quadratic method. Compared to existing methods, the proposed method is more robust to high corruptions and various kinds of noise. Moreover, it analyzes all aCGH profiles relating to a data set simultaneously. Experimental results illustrate the robustness of the proposed method when the noise is non-Gaussian and show its excellent performance in other cases.
