Statistical Approaches Of Gene Set Analysis With Quantitative Trait Loci For High-Throughput Genomic Studies., Samarendra Das
Statistical Approaches Of Gene Set Analysis With Quantitative Trait Loci For High-Throughput Genomic Studies., Samarendra Das
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Recently, gene set analysis has become the first choice for gaining insights into the underlying complex biology of diseases through high-throughput genomic studies, such as Microarrays, bulk RNA-Sequencing, single cell RNA-Sequencing, etc. It also reduces the complexity of statistical analysis and enhances the explanatory power of the obtained results. Further, the statistical structure and steps common to these approaches have not yet been comprehensively discussed, which limits their utility. Hence, a comprehensive overview of the available gene set analysis approaches used for different high-throughput genomic studies is provided. The analysis of gene sets is usually carried out based on …
Nonparametric Methods For Analyzing Replication Origins In Genomewide Data, Debashis Ghosh
Nonparametric Methods For Analyzing Replication Origins In Genomewide Data, Debashis Ghosh
The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Due to the advent of high-throughput genomic technology, it has become possible to globally monitor cellular activities on a genomewide basis. With these new methods, scientists can begin to address important biological questions. One such question involves the identification of replication origins, which are regions in chromosomes where DNA replication is initiated. In addition, one hypothesis regarding replication origins is that their locations are non-random throughout the genome. In this article, we develop methods for identification of and cluster inference regarding replication origins involving genomewide expression data. We compare several nonparametric regression methods for the identification of replication origin locations. …
A Method To Identify Significant Clusters In Gene Expression Data, Katherine S. Pollard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
A Method To Identify Significant Clusters In Gene Expression Data, Katherine S. Pollard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Clustering algorithms have been widely applied to gene expression data. For both hierarchical and partitioning clustering algorithms, selecting the number of significant clusters is an important problem and many methods have been proposed. Existing methods for selecting the number of clusters tend to find only the global patterns in the data (e.g.: the over and under expressed genes). We have noted the need for a better method in the gene expression context, where small, biologically meaningful clusters can be difficult to identify. In this paper, we define a new criteria, Mean Split Silhouette (MSS), which is a measure of cluster …
Statistical Inference For Simultaneous Clustering Of Gene Expression Data, Katherine S. Pollard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Statistical Inference For Simultaneous Clustering Of Gene Expression Data, Katherine S. Pollard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Current methods for analysis of gene expression data are mostly based on clustering and classification of either genes or samples. We offer support for the idea that more complex patterns can be identified in the data if genes and samples are considered simultaneously. We formalize the approach and propose a statistical framework for two-way clustering. A simultaneous clustering parameter is defined as a function of the true data generating distribution, and an estimate is obtained by applying this function to the empirical distribution. We illustrate that a wide range of clustering procedures, including generalized hierarchical methods, can be defined as …
