Bayesian Functional Data Analysis Over Dependent Regions And Its Application For Identification Of Differentially Methylated Regions, Suvo Chatterjee
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Bayesian functional data analysis (BFDA) provides flexible statistical inferences under harsh circumstances such as a large volume of data, considerable measurement errors and missing observations. Considering a sequence of segments and functional data analysis on each segment, where neighboring segments can be dependent, demanding computation is indispensable and analysis is sometimes infeasible for large number of segments. We consider a utilization of BFDA to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs). Out of numerous existing methodologies to detect DMRs, there still does not exist a standard approach to identify DMRs especially under the assumption of dependency among genomic regions. In this dissertation, …
