health disparity, expression dataset, supposed to have ethnic group information. 

several classifier algorithms were used. cross-validation were applied, ROC curves used. 

good reference for my lifespan prediction study. 

Method A (Gene clusters and ridge regression)

binary tree-structured vecgor quantization -> binary cluster tree using expression profiles

Method B (Stratified Cox model on univariately selected genes)

Method C (clustering of samples combined with minimum gene selection).

Method D. (clustering of samples combined with minimum gene selection).
