Book Bayesian and Empirical Bayes Approaches to Power Law Process and Microarray Analysis

Download or read book Bayesian and Empirical Bayes Approaches to Power Law Process and Microarray Analysis written by Zhao Chen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The prediction results for the software reliability model are illustrated. We compare our result with the result of Bar-Lev, S.K. et al. Also, posterior densities of several parametric functions are given. Chapter 4 provides Empirical Bayes for the power law process with natural conjugate priors and nonparametric priors. For the natural conjugate priors, two-hyperparameter prior and a more generalized three-hyperparameter prior are used. In chapter 5, we review some basic statistical procedures that are involved in microarray analysis. We will also present and compare several transformation and normalization methods for probe level data. The objective of chapter 6 is to select differentially expressed genes from tens of thousands of genes. Both classical methods (fold change, T-test, Wilcoxon Rank-sum Test, SAM and local Z-score and Empirical Bayes methods (EBarrays and LIMMA) are applied to obtain the results.

Book Statistical Problems in DNA Microarray Data Analysis

Download or read book Statistical Problems in DNA Microarray Data Analysis written by Nancy Naichao Wang and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA microarrays are powerful tools for functional genomics studies. Each array contains thousands of microscopic spots of DNA oligonucleotides with specific sequences, which can hybridize with their complementary DNA sequences. Thus each microarray experiment consists of parallel assays about thousands of genomic fragments. This thesis concerns some statistical issues in the analysis of DNA microarray data. One common usage of DNA microarrays is to monitor the dynamic levels of gene expression in response to a stimulus. This is often achieved through a time course experiment, in which RNA samples are extracted at various time points after exposing the organism to the stimulus. A particularly interesting type of time course experiments involve replicated series of longitudinal samples. In 2006, Tai and Speed proposed a multivariate empirical Bayes model for analyzing this type of data. The MB-statistic derived from this model was shown useful for ranking the genes according to changes in their temporal expression profiles. In the first part of this thesis, we propose an empirical Bayes false discovery rate (FDR)-controlling procedure for multiple hypothesis testing using the MB-statistic. A null distribution is obtained using the parametric bootstrap. Critical values are determined according to the empirical Bayes FDR procedure. This method was compared, through simulations, to the frequentist FDR procedure, which requires a theoretical null distribution for calculating the nominal p-values. Although our method is slightly anti-conservative, it is more robust to the variability in the estimates of the hyperparameters, when the degree of moderation is small. Another common usage of DNA microarrays is to detect genomic locations that are associated with DNA-binding proteins. This is often achieved through ChIP-chip experiments that combine chromatin immunoprecipitation with the microarray technology. Traditional DNA microarrays designed for gene expression studies contain only a few probes for each gene. A special type of DNA microarrays, called tiling arrays, are often used in ChIP-chip experiments. They typically contain probes that are placed densely along the chromosomes to cover either the entire genome or contigs of the genome. A couple of challenges in the analysis of ChIP-chip tiling array data have not been met satisfactorily in the literature. When large scale genomic studies are carried over a long period of time, tiling arrays with different probe designs are often used for practical reasons. The first challenge is the integration of replicate experiments performed using different tiling array designs. When the biological process of interest involves a large protein complex, the investigators often perform ChIP-chip experiments on each component DNA-binding protein individually. DNA targets that are shared by the individual proteins are thought to be the localization sites of the protein complex. The second challenge is the joint analysis of multiple DNA-binding proteins, aimed at identifying their shared targets. In the second part of this thesis, we propose a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model (HMM) for addressing these two challenges. The nonhomogeneous time axis represents the genomic positions of the probes. The hidden states represent the binding statuses of the proteins. The state-conditional emission distributions of the tiling array data are protein-specific and design-specific. We derived a modified Baum-Welch algorithm for fitting the model parameters. We also developed a procedure that converts the probe level summaries into peaks, which represent the putative binding sites, based on both signal strength and peak shape. To compare our method with existing methods, we curated a set of positive and negative genomic regions from a C. elegans dataset, and performed some receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses. When applied to each experiment separately, our method performs similarly as the three best existing methods. When applied to the combined data set, which consists of tiling arrays with different probe designs, our method shows a drastic improvement in performance. A generalization of the nonhomogeneous HMM enables the joint analysis of the ChIP-chip data of multiple proteins. We present an application of this method to identify the shared localization sites of two DNA-binding proteins, under two different conditions.

Download or read book Large Scale Inference written by Bradley Efron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a new age for statistical inference, where modern scientific technology such as microarrays and fMRI machines routinely produce thousands and sometimes millions of parallel data sets, each with its own estimation or testing problem. Doing thousands of problems at once is more than repeated application of classical methods. Taking an empirical Bayes approach, Bradley Efron, inventor of the bootstrap, shows how information accrues across problems in a way that combines Bayesian and frequentist ideas. Estimation, testing and prediction blend in this framework, producing opportunities for new methodologies of increased power. New difficulties also arise, easily leading to flawed inferences. This book takes a careful look at both the promise and pitfalls of large-scale statistical inference, with particular attention to false discovery rates, the most successful of the new statistical techniques. Emphasis is on the inferential ideas underlying technical developments, illustrated using a large number of real examples.
