Improvement on Implementation with Rmosek: Normalization

Introduction

When fitting Gaussian derivatives, normalization could potentially increase the parity in the magnitude of the coefficients and thus make the results more accurate.

data.list = readRDS("../output/z_null_liver_777_select.RDS")
zscore = data.list[[3]]
sel.num = length(zscore)
data.list.index = readRDS("../output/z_null_liver_777_select_index.RDS")
ord = data.list.index[[3]]$gd.ord

source("../code/gdash.R")
library(ashr)
library(PolynomF)
x <- polynom()
H <- polylist(x, - 1 + x^2)
for(n in 2 : 19)
  H[[n+1]] <- x * H[[n]] - n * H[[n-1]]

Conclusion

It appears normalization indeed increases the accuracy, although the computation seems slowing down a little bit? Not sure.
