Binomial mixture model-based association tests under genetic heterogeneity.

Most of the existing association tests for population-based case-control studies are based on comparing the mean genotype scores between the case and control groups, which may not be efficient under genetic heterogeneity. Given that most common diseases are genetically heterogeneous, caused by mutations in multiple loci, it may be beneficial to fully account for genetic heterogeneity in an asso...

Explaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model

This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...

Entropy based genetic association tests and gene-gene interaction tests.

In the past few years, several entropy-based tests have been proposed for testing either single SNP association or gene-gene interaction. These tests are mainly based on Shannon entropy and have higher statistical power when compared to standard χ2 tests. In this paper, we extend some of these tests using a more generalized entropy definition, Rényi entropy, where Shannon entropy is a special c...

Binomial Tests

Binomial Test Example: Instances of sevens as digits from a random digit generator Step 1: Formulate hypotheses. H0 : π = 1 10 , Ha : π 6= 1 10 Step 2: Obtain a test statistic. In this case, I indicated a sample of 200 random digits yielded 35 sevens. Step 3: Calculate the P -value. The P -value is the conditional probability of obtaining a test statistic at least as extreme as ours given that ...

Negative Binomial Mixture Conditioning

Fisher's logarithmic series model (Fisher et al. (1943)) is a classical model in statistical ecology. In this paper we show that this model is a key model linking three models discussed in Takemura (1997), i.e., Poisson-gamma model (Bethlehem et al. (1990)), Dirichlet-multinomial model (Takemura (1997)), and Ewens model (Ewens (1990)). This connection opens up the possibility of applying existi...
