Semiparametric Methods For Identification Of Tumor Progression Genes From Microarray Data, Debashis Ghosh, Arul Chinnaiyan
Semiparametric Methods For Identification Of Tumor Progression Genes From Microarray Data, Debashis Ghosh, Arul Chinnaiyan
The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
The use of microarray data has become quite commonplace in medical and scientific experiments. We focus here on microarray data generated from cancer studies. It is potentially important for the discovery of biomarkers to identify genes whose expression levels correlate with tumor progression. In this article, we develop statistical procedures for the identification of such genes, which we term tumor progression genes. Two methods are considered in this paper. The first is use of a proportional odds procedure, combined with false discovery rate estimation techniques to adjust for the multiple testing problem. The second method is based on order-restricted estimation …

The False Discovery Rate: A Variable Selection Perspective, Debashis Ghosh, Wei Chen, Trivellore E. Raghuanthan
The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
In many scientific and medical settings, large-scale experiments are generating large quantities of data that lead to inferential problems involving multiple hypotheses. This has led to recent tremendous interest in statistical methods regarding the false discovery rate (FDR). Several authors have studied the properties involving FDR in a univariate mixture model setting. In this article, we turn the problem on its side; in this manuscript, we show that FDR is a by-product of Bayesian analysis of variable selection problem for a hierarchical linear regression model. This equivalence gives many Bayesian insights as to why FDR is a natural quantity to …
Mixture Models For Assessing Differential Expression In Complex Tissues Using Microarray Data, Debashis Ghosh
Mixture Models For Assessing Differential Expression In Complex Tissues Using Microarray Data, Debashis Ghosh
The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
The use of DNA microarrays has become quite popular in many scientific and medical disciplines, such as in cancer research. One common goal of these studies is to determine which genes are differentially expressed between cancer and healthy tissue, or more generally, between two experimental conditions. A major complication in the molecular profiling of tumors using gene expression data is that the data represent a combination of tumor and normal cells. Much of the methodology developed for assessing differential expression with microarray data has assumed that tissue samples are homogeneous. In this article, we outline a general framework for determining …
