  • The class centroids are shrunk toward the overall centroids

after standardizing by the within-class standard deviation for each gene.

  • This gives higher weight to genes whose expression is

stable within the same class.

  • In the test cases, the standardized distance to the

shrunken centroid is calculated and the class probability is determined.
