There are several important issues to be addressed for gene expression temporal patterns' analysis: first, the correlation structure of multidimensional temporal data; second, the numerous sources of variations with existing high level noise; and last, gene expression mostly involves heterogeneous...

This article shows that any single-step or stepwise multiple testing procedure (asymptotically) controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER) can be augmented into procedures that (asymptotically) control tail probabilities for the number of false positives and the proportion of false positives...

Various discriminant methods have been applied for classification of tumors based on gene expression profiles, among which the nearest neighbor (NN) method has been reported to perform relatively well. Usually cross-validation (CV) is used to select the neighbor size as well as the number of...

Given a multiple testing situation, the null hypotheses that appear to have sufficiently low probabilities of truth may be rejected using a simple, nonparametric method based on decision theory. This applies not only to posterior levels of belief, but also to conditional probabilities in the...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a key experimental technique used to study protein structure, dynamics, and interactions. NMR methods face the bottleneck of spectral analysis, in particular determining the resonance assignments, which help define the mapping between atoms in the...

Phenotype and/or genotype misclassification can: significantly increase type II error probabilities for genetic case/control association, causing decrease in statistical power; and produce inaccurate estimates of population frequency parameters. We present a method, the likelihood ratio test...

Estimation of the association between haplotypes and disease from a case-control study is considered. Assuming a single ``disease haplotype'' leads to the increased risk, attention focusses on the relative risks associated with a single copy, or two copies of the disease haplotype, relative to...

A genome-wide location analysis method has been introduced as a means to simultaneously study protein-DNA binding interactions for a large number of genes on a microarray platform. Identification of interactions between transcription factors (TF) and genes provide insight into the mechanisms...

We present a new approach to molecular classification based on mRNA comparisons. Our method, referred to as the top-scoring pair(s) (TSP) classifier, is motivated by current technical and practical limitations in using gene expression microarray data for class prediction, for example to detect...

The present article proposes general single-step multiple testing procedures for controlling Type I error rates defined as arbitrary parameters of the distribution of the number of Type I errors, such as the generalized family-wise error rate. A key feature of our approach is the test statistics...
