N2 - We investigated random matrix theory (RMT) and covariance matrix filtering with shrinkage techniques to characterize eigendecomposition of a 190 ×190 covariance matrix based on 750 genes and 18 tumor classes. Principal component subtraction using the first PC resulted in the most favorable outcome concerning eigenvector participation ratios, class-specific influence scores, and unsupervised clustering of arrays. By fitting the Marčenko-Pastur density function, we determined that 86.8% of the covariance matrix eigenvalues were below the threshold value of λ + = 0.5025, suggesting that they reside in the noise region. Removal of noise eigenvector effects in the data were not as informative as removal of only the first eigenvector, however, there were interesting properties observed among the 25 non-zero eigenvalues after noise removal - mostly that they were lower than the first 25 eigenvalues of the remaining types of covariance matrices.
