Analysis of high-throughput proteomic/genomic data, in particular, surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) data and microarray data, has led to a multitude of techniques aimed at identifying potential biomarkers. Most of the statistical techniques for comparing two groups are based on qualitative measures such as P-value. A quantitative way such as interval estimation for the contrasts of two groups is more appealing.
