Group aggregating normalization method for the preprocessing of NMR-based metabolomic data

Data normalization plays a crucial role in metabolomics to take into account the inevitable variation in sample concentration and the efficiency of sample preparation procedure. The conventional methods such as constant sum normalization (CSN) and probabilistic quotient normalization (PQN) are widel...

In the current study, a new data normalization method called group aggregating normalization (GAN) is proposed, by which the samples were normalized so that they aggregate close to their group centers in a principal component analysis (PCA) subspace. This is in contrast with CSN and PQN which rely on a constant reference for all samples.
