Toward better benchmarking: challenge-based methods assessment in cancer genomics

Genome Biol. 2014 Sep 17;15(9):462. doi: 10.1186/s13059-014-0462-7.

Abstract

Rapid technological development has created an urgent need for improved evaluation of algorithms for the analysis of cancer genomics data. We outline how challenge-based assessment may help fill this gap by leveraging crowd-sourcing to distribute effort and reduce bias.
