Spam filters: bayes vs. chi-squared; letters vs. words
We compare two statistical methods for identifying spam or junk electronic mail. Spam filters are classifiers which determine whether an email is junk or not. The proliferation of spam email has made electronic filtering vitally important. The magnitude of the problem is discussed. We examine the Naive Bayesian method in relation to the ‘Chi by degrees of Freedom’ approach, the latter used in t...
متن کاملEmpirical bayes method for incorporating data from multiple genome scans.
Individual genome scans tend to have low power and can produce markedly biased estimates of QTL effects. Further, the confidence interval for their location is often prohibitively large for subsequent fine mapping and positional cloning. Given that a large number of genome scans have been conducted, not to mention the large number of variables and subsets tested, it is difficult to confidently ...
متن کاملLower Bounds on Bayes Factors for Multinomial Distributions, with Application to Chi-squared Tests of Fit1
Lower bounds on Bayes factors in favor of the null hypothesis in multinomial tests of point null hypotheses are developed. These are then applied to derive lower bounds on Bayes factors in both exact and asymptotic chi-squared testing situations. The general conclusion is that the lower bounds tend to be substantially larger than P-values, raising serious questions concerning the routine use of...
متن کاملAn empirical Bayes method for gene expression analysis in R
In recent years the new technology of microarrays has made it feasible to measure expression of thousands of genes to identify changes between different biological states. In such biological experiments we are confronted with the problem of high-dimensionality because of thousands of genes involved and at the same time with small sample sizes (due to limited availability of cases). The set of d...
متن کاملIs Cp an empirical Bayes method for smoothing parameter choice?
The Cp selection criterion is a popular method to choose the smoothing parameter in spline regression. Another widely used method is the generalized maximum likelihood (GML) derived from a normal-theory empirical Bayes framework. These two seemingly unrelated methods, have been shown in Efron (Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 470) and Kou and Efron (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 97 (2002) 766) to be actually...
