The simplest level of statistical analysis of cancer associated gene expression matrices is aimed at finding consistently up- or down-regulated genes within a given set of tumor samples. Considering the high level of gene expression diversity detected in cancer, one needs to assess the probability that the consistent mis-regulation of a given gene is due to chance. Furthermore, it is important to determine the required sample number that will ensure the meaningful statistical analysis of massively parallel gene expression measurements.
