Estimating Autoantibody Signatures To Detect Autoimmune Disease Patient Subsets, Zhenke Wu, Livia Casciola-Rosen, Ami A. Shah, Antony Rosen, Scott L. Zeger
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by highly specific immune responses against molecules in self-tissues. Different autoimmune diseases are characterized by distinct immune responses, making autoantibodies useful for diagnosis and prediction. In many diseases, the targets of autoantibodies are incompletely defined. Although the technologies for autoantibody discovery have advanced dramatically over the past decade, each of these techniques generates hundreds of possibilities, which are onerous and expensive to validate. We set out to establish a method to greatly simplify autoantibody discovery, using a pre-filtering step to define subgroups with similar specificities based on migration of labeled, immunoprecipitated proteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate …

Component Extraction Of Complex Biomedical Signal And Performance Analysis Based On Different Algorithm, Hemant Pasusangai Kasturiwale
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
Biomedical signals can arise from one or many sources including heart ,brains and endocrine systems. Multiple sources poses challenge to researchers which may have contaminated with artifacts and noise. The Biomedical time series signal are like electroencephalogram(EEG),electrocardiogram(ECG),etc The morphology of the cardiac signal is very important in most of diagnostics based on the ECG. The diagnosis of patient is based on visual observation of recorded ECG,EEG,etc, may not be accurate. To achieve better understanding , PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and ICA algorithms helps in analyzing ECG signals . The immense scope in the field of biomedical-signal processing Independent Component Analysis( …
Effect Of Misreported Family History On Mendelian Mutation Prediction Models, Hormuzd A. Katki
Effect Of Misreported Family History On Mendelian Mutation Prediction Models, Hormuzd A. Katki
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
People with familial history of disease often consult with genetic counselors about their chance of carrying mutations that increase disease risk. To aid them, genetic counselors use Mendelian models that predict whether the person carries deleterious mutations based on their reported family history. Such models rely on accurate reporting of each member's diagnosis and age of diagnosis, but this information may be inaccurate. Commonly encountered errors in family history can significantly distort predictions, and thus can alter the clinical management of people undergoing counseling, screening, or genetic testing. We derive general results about the distortion in the carrier probability estimate …
Optimal Sample Size For Multiple Testing: The Case Of Gene Expression Microarrays, Peter Muller, Giovanni Parmigiani, Christian Robert, Judith Rousseau
Optimal Sample Size For Multiple Testing: The Case Of Gene Expression Microarrays, Peter Muller, Giovanni Parmigiani, Christian Robert, Judith Rousseau
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
We consider the choice of an optimal sample size for multiple comparison problems. The motivating application is the choice of the number of microarray experiments to be carried out when learning about differential gene expression. However, the approach is valid in any application that involves multiple comparisons in a large number of hypothesis tests. We discuss two decision problems in the context of this setup: the sample size selection and the decision about the multiple comparisons. We adopt a decision theoretic approach,using loss functions that combine the competing goals of discovering as many ifferentially expressed genes as possible, while keeping …
Unification Of Variance Components And Haseman-Elston Regression For Quantitative Trait Linkage Analysis, Wei-Min Chen, Karl W. Broman, Kung-Yee Liang
Unification Of Variance Components And Haseman-Elston Regression For Quantitative Trait Linkage Analysis, Wei-Min Chen, Karl W. Broman, Kung-Yee Liang
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
Two of the major approaches for linkage analysis with quantitative traits in humans include variance components and Haseman-Elston regression. Previously, these have been viewed as quite separate methods. We describe a general model, fit by use of generalized estimating equations (GEE), for which the variance components and Haseman-Elston methods (including many of the extensions to the original Haseman-Elston method) are special cases, corresponding to different choices for a working covariance matrix. We also show that the regression-based test of Sham et al.(2002) is equivalent to a robust score statistic derived from our GEE approach. These results have several important implications. …
