Bayesian Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
Bayesian gene set enrichment analysis (Bayesian GSEA) applies a probabilistic framework to determine whether predefined sets of genes — representing biological pathways, cellular processes, or functional categories — are collectively more differentially expressed than expected by chance. Unlike classical frequentist GSEA, the Bayesian approach models uncertainty in expression estimates explicitly, incorporates prior biological knowledge, and produces posterior probabilities of enrichment rather than raw p-values, enabling more principled inference especially in small-sample settings.
