Multiple Tests Of Association With Biological Annotation Metadata, Sandrine Dudoit, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan
Multiple Tests Of Association With Biological Annotation Metadata, Sandrine Dudoit, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
We propose a general and formal statistical framework for the multiple tests of associations between known fixed features of a genome and unknown parameters of the distribution of variable features of this genome in a population of interest. The known fixed gene-annotation profiles, corresponding to the fixed features of the genome, may concern Gene Ontology (GO) annotation, pathway membership, regulation by particular transcription factors, nucleotide sequences, or protein sequences. The unknown gene-parameter profiles, corresponding to the variable features of the genome, may be, for example, regression coefficients relating genome-wide transcript levels or DNA copy numbers to possibly censored biological and …
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 …

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 …
Semiparametric Quantitative-Trait-Locus Mapping: I. On Functional Growth Curves, Ying Qing Chen, Rongling Wu
Semiparametric Quantitative-Trait-Locus Mapping: I. On Functional Growth Curves, Ying Qing Chen, Rongling Wu
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
The genetic study of certain quantitative traits in growth curves as a function of time has recently been of major scientific interest to explore the developmental evolution processes of biological subjects. Various parametric approaches in the statistical literature have been proposed to study the quantitative-trait-loci (QTL) mapping of the growth curves as multivariate outcomes. In this article, we view the growth curves as functional quantitative traits and propose some semiparametric models to relax the strong parametric assumptions which may not be always practical in reality. Appropriate inference procedures are developed to estimate the parameters of interest which characterise the possible …

Semiparametric Quantitative-Trait-Locus Mapping: Ii. On Censored Age-At-Onset, Ying Qing Chen, Chengcheng Hu, Rongling Wu
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
In genetic studies, the variation in genotypes may not only affect different inheritance patterns in qualitative traits, but may also affect the age-at-onset as quantitative trait. In this article, we use standard cross designs, such as backcross or F2, to propose some hazard regression models, namely, the additive hazards model in quantitative trait loci mapping for age-at-onset, although the developed method can be extended to more complex designs. With additive invariance of the additive hazards models in mixture probabilities, we develop flexible semiparametric methodologies in interval regression mapping without heavy computing burden. A recently developed multiple comparison procedures is adapted …

Tree-Based Multivariate Regression And Density Estimation With Right-Censored Data , Annette M. Molinaro, Sandrine Dudoit, Mark J. Van Der Laan
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
We propose a unified strategy for estimator construction, selection, and performance assessment in the presence of censoring. This approach is entirely driven by the choice of a loss function for the full (uncensored) data structure and can be stated in terms of the following three main steps. (1) Define the parameter of interest as the minimizer of the expected loss, or risk, for a full data loss function chosen to represent the desired measure of performance. Map the full data loss function into an observed (censored) data loss function having the same expected value and leading to an efficient estimator …

Supervised Detection Of Regulatory Motifs In Dna Sequences, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Sandrine Dudoit, Biao Xing, Michael B. Eisen
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Identification of transcription factor binding sites (regulatory motifs) is a major interest in contemporary biology. We propose a new likelihood based method, COMODE, for identifying structural motifs in DNA sequences. Commonly used methods (e.g. MEME, Gibbs sampler) model binding sites as families of sequences described by a position weight matrix (PWM) and identify PWMs that maximize the likelihood of observed sequence data under a simple multinomial mixture model. This model assumes that the positions of the PWM correspond to independent multinomial distributions with four cell probabilities. We address supervising the search for DNA binding sites using the information derived from …

Identification Of Regulatory Elements Using A Feature Selection Method, Sunduz Keles, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Michael B. Eisen
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Many methods have been described to identify regulatory motifs in the transcription control regions of genes that exhibit similar patterns of gene expression across a variety of experimental conditions. Here we focus on a single experimental condition, and utilize gene expression data to identify sequence motifs associated with genes that are activated under this experimental condition. We use a linear model with two way interactions to model gene expression as a function of sequence features (words) present in presumptive transcription control regions. The most relevant features are selected by a feature selection method called stepwise selection with monte carlo cross …
