The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
In many scientific and medical settings, large-scale experiments are generating large quantities of data that lead to inferential problems involving multiple hypotheses. This has led to recent tremendous interest in statistical methods regarding the false discovery rate (FDR). Several authors have studied the properties involving FDR in a univariate mixture model setting. In this article, we turn the problem on its side; in this manuscript, we show that FDR is a by-product of Bayesian analysis of variable selection problem for a hierarchical linear regression model. This equivalence gives many Bayesian insights as to why FDR is a natural quantity to …
Covariate Adjustment In The Analysis Of Microarray Data From Clinical Studies, Debashis Ghosh, Arul Chinnaiyan
Covariate Adjustment In The Analysis Of Microarray Data From Clinical Studies, Debashis Ghosh, Arul Chinnaiyan
The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
There is tremendous scientific interest in the analysis of gene expression data in clinical settings, such as oncology. In this paper, we describe the importance of adjusting for confounders and other prognostic factors in order to select for differentially expressed genes for followup validation studies. We develop two approaches to the analysis of microarray data in nonrandomized clinical settings. The first is an extension of the current significance analysis of microarray procedures, where other covariates are taken into account. The second is a novel covariate-adjusted regression modelling based on the receiver operating characteristic curve for the analysis of gene expression …
