A Fine-Scale Linkage Disequilibrium Measure Based On Length Of Haplotype Sharing, Yan Wang, Lue Ping Zhao, Sandrine Dudoit
A Fine-Scale Linkage Disequilibrium Measure Based On Length Of Haplotype Sharing, Yan Wang, Lue Ping Zhao, Sandrine Dudoit
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
High-throughput genotyping technologies for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have enabled the recent completion of the International HapMap Project (Phase I), which has stimulated much interest in studying genome-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns. Conventional LD measures, such as D' and r-square, are two-point measurements, and their relationship with physical distance is highly noisy. We propose a new LD measure, defined in terms of the correlation coefficient for shared haplotype lengths around two loci, thereby borrowing information from multiple loci. A U-statistic-based estimator of the new LD measure, which takes into consideration the dependence structure of the observed data, is developed and …
Population Intervention Models In Causal Inference, Alan E. Hubbard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Population Intervention Models In Causal Inference, Alan E. Hubbard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Marginal structural models (MSM) provide a powerful tool for estimating the causal effect of a] treatment variable or risk variable on the distribution of a disease in a population. These models, as originally introduced by Robins (e.g., Robins (2000a), Robins (2000b), van der Laan and Robins (2002)), model the marginal distributions of treatment-specific counterfactual outcomes, possibly conditional on a subset of the baseline covariates, and its dependence on treatment. Marginal structural models are particularly useful in the context of longitudinal data structures, in which each subject's treatment and covariate history are measured over time, and an outcome is recorded at …
Direct Effect Models, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Maya L. Petersen
Direct Effect Models, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Maya L. Petersen
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
The causal effect of a treatment on an outcome is generally mediated by several intermediate variables. Estimation of the component of the causal effect of a treatment that is mediated by a given intermediate variable (the indirect effect of the treatment), and the component that is not mediated by that intermediate variable (the direct effect of the treatment) is often relevant to mechanistic understanding and to the design of clinical and public health interventions. Under the assumption of no-unmeasured confounders for treatment and the intermediate variable, Robins & Greenland (1992) define an individual direct effect as the counterfactual effect of …
Application Of A Multiple Testing Procedure Controlling The Proportion Of False Positives To Protein And Bacterial Data, Merrill D. Birkner, Alan E. Hubbard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Application Of A Multiple Testing Procedure Controlling The Proportion Of False Positives To Protein And Bacterial Data, Merrill D. Birkner, Alan E. Hubbard, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Simultaneously testing multiple hypotheses is important in high-dimensional biological studies. In these situations, one is often interested in controlling the Type-I error rate, such as the proportion of false positives to total rejections (TPPFP) at a specific level, alpha. This article will present an application of the E-Bayes/Bootstrap TPPFP procedure, presented in van der Laan et al. (2005), which controls the tail probability of the proportion of false positives (TPPFP), on two biological datasets. The two data applications include firstly, the application to a mass-spectrometry dataset of two leukemia subtypes, AML and ALL. The protein data measurements include intensity and …
Cross-Validating And Bagging Partitioning Algorithms With Variable Importance, Annette M. Molinaro, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Cross-Validating And Bagging Partitioning Algorithms With Variable Importance, Annette M. Molinaro, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
We present a cross-validated bagging scheme in the context of partitioning algorithms. To explore the benefits of the various bagging scheme, we compare via simulations the predictive ability of single Classification and Regression (CART) Tree with several previously suggested bagging schemes and with our proposed approach. Additionally, a variable importance measure is explained and illustrated.

Multiple hypothesis testing problems arise frequently in biomedical and genomic research, for instance, when identifying differentially expressed or co-expressed genes in microarray experiments. We have developed generally applicable resampling-based single-step and stepwise multiple testing procedures (MTP) for control of a broad class of Type I error rates, defined as tail probabilities and expected values for arbitrary functions of the numbers of false positives and rejected hypotheses (Dudoit and van der Laan, 2005; Dudoit et al., 2004a,b; Pollard and van der Laan, 2004; van der Laan et al., 2005, 2004a,b). As argued in the early article of Pollard and van der …

Many applications aim to learn a high dimensional parameter of a data generating distribution based on a sample of independent and identically distributed observations. For example, the goal might be to estimate the conditional mean of an outcome given a list of input variables. In this prediction context, Breiman (1996a) introduced bootstrap aggregating (bagging) as a method to reduce the variance of a given estimator at little cost to bias. Bagging involves applying the estimator to multiple bootstrap samples, and averaging the result across bootstrap samples. In order to deal with the curse of dimensionality, typical practice has been to …

Causal Inference based on Marginal Structural Models (MSMs) is particularly attractive to subject-matter investigators because MSM parameters provide explicit representations of causal effects. We introduce History-Restricted Marginal Structural Models (HRMSMs) for longitudinal data for the purpose of defining causal parameters which may often be better suited for Public Health research. This new class of MSMs allows investigators to analyze the causal effect of a treatment on an outcome based on a fixed, shorter and user-specified history of exposure compared to MSMs. By default, the latter represents the treatment causal effect of interest based on a treatment history defined by the …
