This paper develops a Bayesian network (BN) predictor to profile
cross-race gene expression data. Cross-race studies face more data
variability than single-lab studies. Our design handles this problem
by using the BN framework. In addition, unlike existing methods
that unrealistically assume independent genes, our BN approach can
capture the dependencies among genes. Existing BN algorithms in
biomedicine applications quantize data, leading to information loss;
we adopt linear Gaussian model to keep the data intact, so our resulting
model is more reliable. The application of our BN predictor to a
lung adenocarcinoma study shows high prediction accuracy, and performance
evaluation demonstrates our gene signature agreeable with
those reported in the literature. Our tool has a promising potential in
finding disease biomarkers common to multiple races.
