Book Multiple Testing Procedures with Applications to Genomics

Download or read book Multiple Testing Procedures with Applications to Genomics written by Sandrine Dudoit and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book establishes the theoretical foundations of a general methodology for multiple hypothesis testing and discusses its software implementation in R and SAS. These are applied to a range of problems in biomedical and genomic research, including identification of differentially expressed and co-expressed genes in high-throughput gene expression experiments; tests of association between gene expression measures and biological annotation metadata; sequence analysis; and genetic mapping of complex traits using single nucleotide polymorphisms. The procedures are based on a test statistics joint null distribution and provide Type I error control in testing problems involving general data generating distributions, null hypotheses, and test statistics.

Book Modelling and Resampling Based Multiple Testing with Applications to Genetics

Download or read book Modelling and Resampling Based Multiple Testing with Applications to Genetics written by Yifan Huang and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Multiple hypotheses testing is a common problem in practice. For instance, in microarray experiments, whether the goal is to select maintenance genes for normalization or to identify differentially expressed genes between samples, multiple genes are under consideration. Multiplicity inflates the type I error rate of the hypothesis testing, so we need to adjust the testing procedure to control the overly error rate. My research focuses on the strong control of Familywise Error Rate (FWER). There are mainly two different types of approaches to multiple testing. One is modelling based approach and the other non-modelling based. Modelling based approaches fit models to the data so that the joint distribution of the test statistics is tractable. Non-modelling based approaches consist of inequality based methods and resampling based methods. They require less or no information about the joint distribution of the test statistics. I have shown in Chapter 1 that frequently used Hochberg's step-up method is a special case of partition testing based on Simes' test. This is a new result. Hochberg's step-up method is an inequity based non-modelling partition testing. Modelling based partition testing is applicable whether the joint distribution of the test statistics is known or not. By applying modelling based partition testing when the joint distribution of test statistics is known, I illustrate that modelling based approaches are often more powerful than inequality based non-modelling approaches. In Chapter 2, I construct counterexamples to the validity of permutation test, demonstrating that the resampling based methods are often invalid. My results suggest recommendation of modelling based approaches. When the joint distribution of the test statistics is untractable, modelling followed by bootstrap can be applied. I use modelling followed by bootstrap in Chapter 3 to select maintenance genes for normalizing the gene expression data.

Book Multiple Comparisons Using R

Download or read book Multiple Comparisons Using R written by Frank Bretz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting a unifying theme based on maximum statistics, Multiple Comparisons Using R describes the common underlying theory of multiple comparison procedures through numerous examples. It also presents a detailed description of available software implementations in R. The R packages and source code for the analyses are available at http://CRAN.R-project.org After giving examples of multiplicity problems, the book covers general concepts and basic multiple comparisons procedures, including the Bonferroni method and Simes’ test. It then shows how to perform parametric multiple comparisons in standard linear models and general parametric models. It also introduces the multcomp package in R, which offers a convenient interface to perform multiple comparisons in a general context. Following this theoretical framework, the book explores applications involving the Dunnett test, Tukey’s all pairwise comparisons, and general multiple contrast tests for standard regression models, mixed-effects models, and parametric survival models. The last chapter reviews other multiple comparison procedures, such as resampling-based procedures, methods for group sequential or adaptive designs, and the combination of multiple comparison procedures with modeling techniques. Controlling multiplicity in experiments ensures better decision making and safeguards against false claims. A self-contained introduction to multiple comparison procedures, this book offers strategies for constructing the procedures and illustrates the framework for multiple hypotheses testing in general parametric models. It is suitable for readers with R experience but limited knowledge of multiple comparison procedures and vice versa. See Dr. Bretz discuss the book.

Book Stepwise Multiple Testing as Formalized Data Snooping

Download or read book Stepwise Multiple Testing as Formalized Data Snooping written by Michael Wolf and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is common in econometric applications that several hypothesis tests are carried out at the same time. The problem then becomes how to decide which hypotheses to reject, accounting for the multitude of tests. In this paper, we suggest a stepwise multiple testing procedure which asymptotically controls the familywise error rate at a desired level. Compared to related single-step methods, our procedure is more powerful in the sense that it often will reject more false hypotheses. Unlike some stepwise methods, our method implicitly captures the joint dependence structure of the test statistics, which results in increased ability to detect alternative hypotheses. We prove our method asymptotically controls the familywise error rate under minimal assumptions. Some simulation studies show the improvements of our methods over previous proposals. We also provide an application to a set of real data.

Book Monte Carlo Simulation and Resampling Methods for Social Science

Download or read book Monte Carlo Simulation and Resampling Methods for Social Science written by Thomas M. Carsey and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the topics of a quantitative methodology course and illustrating them through Monte Carlo simulation, Monte Carlo Simulation and Resampling Methods for Social Science, by Thomas M. Carsey and Jeffrey J. Harden, examines abstract principles, such as bias, efficiency, and measures of uncertainty in an intuitive, visual way. Instead of thinking in the abstract about what would happen to a particular estimator "in repeated samples," the book uses simulation to actually create those repeated samples and summarize the results. The book includes basic examples appropriate for readers learning the material for the first time, as well as more advanced examples that a researcher might use to evaluate an estimator he or she was using in an actual research project. The book also covers a wide range of topics related to Monte Carlo simulation, such as resampling methods, simulations of substantive theory, simulation of quantities of interest (QI) from model results, and cross-validation. Complete R code from all examples is provided so readers can replicate every analysis presented using R.
