ISVA (Independent Surrogate Variable Analysis) algorithm


We present a modified SVA, called Independent Surrogate Variable Analysis (ISVA), to identify features correlating with a phenotype of interest in the presence of potential confounding factors. ISVA should be useful as a feature selection tool in studies that are subject to confounding.
