Bayesian Hidden Markov Modeling Of Array Cgh Data, Subharup Guha, Yi Li, Donna Neuberg Oct 2006

Bayesian Hidden Markov Modeling Of Array Cgh Data, Subharup Guha, Yi Li, Donna Neuberg

Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Genomic alterations have been linked to the development and progression of cancer. The technique of Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) yields data consisting of fluorescence intensity ratios of test and reference DNA samples. The intensity ratios provide information about the number of copies in DNA. Practical issues such as the contamination of tumor cells in tissue specimens and normalization errors necessitate the use of statistics for learning about the genomic alterations from array-CGH data. As increasing amounts of array CGH data become available, there is a growing need for automated algorithms for characterizing genomic profiles. Specifically, there is a need for …


Semiparametric Estimation In General Repeated Measures Problems, Xihong Lin, Raymond J. Carroll Sep 2005

Semiparametric Estimation In General Repeated Measures Problems, Xihong Lin, Raymond J. Carroll

Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series

This paper considers a wide class of semiparametric problems with a parametric part for some covariate effects and repeated evaluations of a nonparametric function. Special cases in our approach include marginal models for longitudinal/clustered data, conditional logistic regression for matched case-control studies, multivariate measurement error models, generalized linear mixed models with a semiparametric component, and many others. We propose profile-kernel and backfitting estimation methods for these problems, derive their asymptotic distributions, and show that in likelihood problems the methods are semiparametric efficient. While generally not true, with our methods profiling and backfitting are asymptotically equivalent. We also consider pseudolikelihood methods …


Cholesky Residuals For Assessing Normal Errors In A Linear Model With Correlated Outcomes: Technical Report, E. Andres Houseman, Louise Ryan, Brent Coull Oct 2004

Cholesky Residuals For Assessing Normal Errors In A Linear Model With Correlated Outcomes: Technical Report, E. Andres Houseman, Louise Ryan, Brent Coull

Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Despite the widespread popularity of linear models for correlated outcomes (e.g. linear mixed models and time series models), distribution diagnostic methodology remains relatively underdeveloped in this context. In this paper we present an easy-to-implement approach that lends itself to graphical displays of model fit. Our approach involves multiplying the estimated margional residual vector by the Cholesky decomposition of the inverse of the estimated margional variance matrix. The resulting "rotated" residuals are used to construct an empirical cumulative distribution function and pointwise standard errors. The theoretical framework, including conditions and asymptotic properties, involves technical details that are motivated by Lange and …
