Multiple Testing With An Empirical Alternative Hypothesis, James E. Signorovitch
Multiple Testing With An Empirical Alternative Hypothesis, James E. Signorovitch
Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series
An optimal multiple testing procedure is identified for linear hypotheses under the general linear model, maximizing the expected number of false null hypotheses rejected at any significance level. The optimal procedure depends on the unknown data-generating distribution, but can be consistently estimated. Drawing information together across many hypotheses, the estimated optimal procedure provides an empirical alternative hypothesis by adapting to underlying patterns of departure from the null. Proposed multiple testing procedures based on the empirical alternative are evaluated through simulations and an application to gene expression microarray data. Compared to a standard multiple testing procedure, it is not unusual for …

Exploration Of Distributional Models For A Novel Intensity-Dependent Normalization , Nicola Lama, Patrizia Boracchi, Elia Mario Biganzoli
COBRA Preprint Series
Currently used gene intensity-dependent normalization methods, based on regression smoothing techniques, usually approach the two problems of location bias detrending and data re-scaling without taking into account the censoring characteristic of certain gene expressions produced by experiment measurement constraints or by previous normalization steps. Moreover, the bias vs variance balance control of normalization procedures is not often discussed but left to the user's experience. Here an approximate maximum likelihood procedure to fit a model smoothing the dependences of log-fold gene expression differences on average gene intensities is presented. Central tendency and scaling factor were modeled by means of B-splines smoothing …

The identification of statistically overrepresented sequences in the upstream regions of coregulated genes should theoretically permit the identification of potential cis-regulatory elements. However, in practice many cis-regulatory elements are highly degenerate, precluding the use of an exhaustive word-counting strategy for their identification. While numerous methods exist for inferring base distributions using a position weight matrix, recent studies suggest that the independence assumptions inherent in the model, as well as the inability to reach a global optimum, limit this approach.

Consider a placebo-controlled preventive HIV vaccine efficacy trial. An HIV amino acid sequence is measured from each volunteer who acquires HIV, and these sequences are aligned together with the reference HIV sequence represented in the vaccine. We develop genome scanning methods to identify HIV positions at which the amino acids in sequences from infected vaccine recipients tend to be more divergent from the corresponding reference amino acid than the amino acids in sequences from infected placebo recipients. We consider five two-sample test statistics, based on Euclidean, Mahalanobis, and Kullback-Leibler divergence measures. Weights are incorporated to reflect biological information contained in …

2^K Factorials In Blocks Of Size 2, With Application To Two-Color Microarray Experiments, Kathleen F. Kerr
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
When a two-level design must be run in blocks of size two, there is a unique blocking scheme that enables estimation of all the main effects. Unfortunately this design does not enable estimation of any two-factor interactions. When the experimental goal is to estimate all main effects and two-factor interactions, it is necessary to combine replicates of the experiment that use different blocking schemes. In this paper we identify such designs for up to eight factors that enable estimation of all main effects and two-factor interactions with the fewest number of replications. In addition, we give a construction for general …
