Over-optimism in bioinformatics: an illustration
TLDR
An empirical study on over-optimism using high-dimensional classification as example and concludes that, if the improvement of a quantitative criterion such as the error rate is the main contribution of a paper, the superiority of new algorithms should always be demonstrated on independent validation data.
