Candidate biomarker selection by rank sum test
Based on the classification information in the metadata, perform statistical tests between groups, including analysis of variance, T-test, Wilcoxon test, etc., and perform P-value correction. Draw box plots for variables with significant differences and display them by group to visualize the distribution differences of the data. Generate detailed log files recording the analysis process and results, including input parameters and statistical summaries.
